Afferent neurons do this. Efferent do the opposite. It does not matter which system the neurons belong to i.e. Automonic vs. sympathetic. This is a general definition of the direction which nerve impulses are conducting. Afferent nerves are more commonly but less accurately known as sensory nerves.

∙ 9y agoThat neuron is called as sensory neuron. The electrical current flows from periphery to the brain. It takes typically three neurons to reach the brain. You have more cells in retina. But then, the retina is considered as a part of brain tissue.

What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?
motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop
An efferent neuron carries impulses in the direction opposite of?
opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.
Three kinds of neurons?
1.sensory neuron- carry impulses from the sensory receptors to the Central Nervous System 2.motor neurons- carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to the muscles and glans 3.association neuron- relay impulses netween sensory and motor neurons -------------------- AD go to bookden.webs.com .. a website for booklovers.. thx

What is the functional unit of the nervous system?
The nervous system gathers information from the external environment, stores and processes it, and initiates the appropriate responses.__________________________________excuse me, i think he / she wasn't asking about what the nervous system is but what isThe functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron.
Neuron transmits impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system?
afferent/sensory neurons
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What is the function motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
What is the functions of the Motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
What is the neuron that conducts impulses away from the central nervous system to muscles only?
That is referred to as a motor neuron.

What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits a neural impulse from the central nervous system through the spinal cord to a muscle?
The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.
What is a motor neuron?
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
