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 are sensory and motor nervers called?
sensory and motor nerves are called afferent and efferent nerves respectivelly
What type of nerves are spinal nerves Are they Afferent Efferent or Mixed?
mixed
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.
An impulse reaches the CNS from the PNS via the?
Afferent nerves
Afferent nerves are called WHAT?
Sensory
What are sensory and motor nervers called?
sensory and motor nerves are called afferent and efferent nerves respectivelly
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.
What type of nerves are spinal nerves Are they Afferent Efferent or Mixed?
mixed
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.
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves
What carries messages to and from the brain?
Afferent nerves carry messages to and from the brain.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.
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.
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.
Neurons that collect messages from sense organs and carry those to the spinal cord or the brain are called?
afferent nerves
What branch of nerves carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
