What did the Bell-Magendie Law demonstrate about nerves? Nerves are non-specific in their functions. Sensory and motor nerves are functionally and anatomically discrete. All nerves are capable of carrying both sensory and motor impulses. Nerves function primarily to convey vibrations.

Step 1: The Bell-Magendie Law, also known as the Bell-Magendie principle, states that the dorsal (posterior) roots of spinal nerves carry sensory information to the central nervous system, while the ventral (anterior) roots carry motor information away from the Show more…

1.) The somatic and autonomic nervous systems make up the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is in charge of involuntary-subconscious activities. The sympathetic nervous system is in charge of those activities during stressful conditions, while the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge of those activities during non-stressful conditions. 2.) All nerve impulses associated with reflexes must travel through the spinal cord to the brain and back.
