Peripheral nervous system

Refl ex arc

1.2

A mixed nerve (nervus mixtus) 

contains  several  diff erent  types  of 

nerve fi bres. Most nerves are mixed 

nerves and contain somatomotor, 

somatosensory, visceromotor and 

viscerosensory fi bres.

Examples of purely sensory cutane-

ous nerves: saphenous nerve, sural 

nerve and lateral cutaneus nerve of 

the forearm.
