What are sensory and motor nervers called?
Sensory nerves are called afferent nerves, and motor nerves are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, while efferent nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to initiate a response.
What are the two channels which relay the messages to and from the brain and to the body parts that will do the action?
These "channels " are actually nerves termed as Afferent and Efferent nerves usually called motor and sensory nerves.
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
Afferent nerves are also called what?
Nerve cell called sensory neurons. An axon also known as a nerve fiber is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.If the fibres which are the branched projections attach to the cell body of nerve cell are dendrites
What nerve is carrying the afferent and efferent impulses during the patellar reflex?
The nerves innervate the quadriceps. The afferent nerves are the muscle spindles and the efferent are the motor neurons.
Neurons that collect messages from sense organs and carry those to the spinal cord or the brain are called?
afferent nerves
What are the neurons that conduct the nerve impulses from the spinal cord and the brainstem to the thalamus called?
afferent nerves of the ascending spinal pathways.
Name the 3 types of nerves?
Afferent, efferent, and interneurons.
What branch of nerves carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain for interpretation is called the sensory pathway. These pathways carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain where it is processed and interpreted.
What is the neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system?
sensory neurons trust me i know this one for sure i went on over 29 websites to find this out
What do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· Afferent and efferent divisions are:o Sensory (afferent) Division§ Somatic afferent nerves - carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the CNS§ Visceral afferent nerves - transmit impulses from visceral organs to the CNSo Motor (efferent) Division§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor responseAfferent nerves are the one that carry the information from periphery to central nervous system for further processing. While efferent nerves carry the processed information from central nervous system towards the periphery for action.
