How can an injury to a peripheral nerve cause loss to both sensory and motor functions?

Answer;

-Muscles receives signal from the nerves which causes them to contract and relax. If our nerve is damaged then we can't send or receive signals from it so you can lose sensory and motor functions.

Explanation;

-The peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and the brain. These nerves carry information to and from the central nervous system to provide complex body functions.

-Peripheral nerves are fragile and easily damaged. A nerve injury can affect your brain's ability to communicate with your muscles and organs. Damage to the peripheral nerves is called peripheral neuropathy.
