What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?

These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).


Can atomic neurons be sensory or afferent neurons?

I believe you mean autonomic neurons (part of the ANS) and yes, they can be sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are the same as afferent neurons--meaning they carry signals towards the CNS. Think as afferent as 'approaching'. Anyhow, these neurons sense the conditions of your visceral organs and whatnot. Other wise it would have no information to judge for what signals to send. So yes, autonomic neurons consist of both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) neurons.

What afferent neurons convey information?

Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.


What is the majority of all afferent pathways pass through and synapse with neurons?

The motor neuron is the final common pathway for all neurons to travel to complete their synapse. Afferent neurons or unipolar neurons all pass through the cord and brain on this journey.
