'Dere are several kinds of nerves.
'the sensory nerves carry messages ,from
the outside and the responses is carried"
,, back by the motor nerves. Touc i a hot
stove, and the sensory nerves of the skin
flash a message to the brain which im-
mediately, through the motor nerves to
the hand, withdraws the hand from the
hot Stove. ft all happens 8o quickly
that it seems hadly possible for mes-
sages to have time to pass back and
forth. but so it is. A nerve 'may have
both sensory and motor fibres; it Lsathen'
known as a mixed nerve.

Neuritis 'may ..be dile to causes acting

the face suffer most from this. Injury

Neuritis is a fairly common coniplica- t.

cure depends upon finding the cause.
