Sensory nerves, or the receptor nerves, as they are only made up of sensory neurons.
Receptors are the specialised structures at the end of the sensory nerves that receive the stimuli and convert it into an electrical signal to be conducted by the nerve as a nerve impulse.

What organ carries information between the brain and the rest body?
AnswerAfferent sensory neurons carry the impulses from the receptors (afferent sensory organs) to the spinal cord and/or the brain.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
What are the membranes that cover the organs of the central nervous system called?
All of the nerves in the human body are covered in an insulating sheath called myelin.
What Impulses from the sense organs travels to the brain along?
association neurons
List 4 organs that comprise the nervous system?
Nerves, Brain, Spinal Cord and Sense Organs
What carries impulses through the spinal cord and brain to other organs?
Afferent nerves
What organ carries information between the brain and the rest body?
AnswerAfferent sensory neurons carry the impulses from the receptors (afferent sensory organs) to the spinal cord and/or the brain.
What is the sensory do in your nervous system?
Sensory nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. This is also called the PNS for short. Sensory nerves work in conjuction with the senses, to receive and transmit signals and impulses from the sensory organs.
What type of nerve sends messages from sense organs to the brain?
This is simple; don't overthink it. The nerves that carry sensory impulses to the brain are the sensory nerves.
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.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
What is the function of the nervs?
The function of the nerve is to send information to the brain.Answer By:Farman AliYour nerves are one of the four types of tissues in your body; skin, muscle, connective tissue, and nerves. When all your nerves are put together, they make your nervous system. The nervous system is made up of three different kinds of nerves.the nervous system is cool
What is the function of spinal nerves- afferent?
They carry nerve impulses from your sensory organs, like your eyes, to your brain, or your central nervous system (CNS). When your eyes see something shiny on the ground, your afferent nerves tell your brain what your eyes see. In contrast, efferent nerves carry nerve impulses from your brain to parts of your body. So, when you see something shiny on the ground, your brain tells you to pick it up and look at it. Efferent = "Exiting", the nerves impulses are exiting your brain. Afferent = the opposite
What are the brachial plexus?
The brachial plexus are nerves that leave the cervical vertebrae (but originate in the brain) and extend to peripheral structures (muscles/organs) to transmit motor and sensory nerve impulses.
What is dysautonomia?
Body organs that regulate themselves.are controlled by groups of nerves called autonomic nerves. groups of autonomic nerves operate in balance. Spinal cord injury can disrupt this balance, a condition called autonomic dysreflexia.
Which nerves carry messages from organs to brain?
Sensory nerves.
Which four sense organs send nerves right into the brain?
its i believe sensory nerves
