Questions: The nerves associated with the GI tract consist of both sensory and motor axons.

The nerves associated with the GI tract consist of both sensory and autonomic motor axons.

Explanation:

• The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is innervated by the enteric nervous system, which is a part of the autonomic nervous system. This system includes both sensory neurons, which detect changes in the GI tract environment, and motor neurons, which control the movement and function of the GI tract.
• The motor axons in the GI tract are autonomic because they are part of the involuntary nervous system that regulates bodily functions such as digestion, without conscious control.
• The autonomic nervous system is further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, both of which play roles in the regulation of the GI tract.
