The basis for classifying the entire nerve as sensory, motor, or mixed.
Introduction:
The spinal nerves are important because the spinal cord sends and receive signals from the body through the spinal nerves. The spinal nerve is composed of large number of nerve fibers or axons and resembles a cord-like appearance.

The spinal cord tracts are stimulatory nerve pathways that pass the information through action potentials.
