Neurons that carry information to the spinal cord?
afferent
DIvision of the nervous system brings sensory information to the central nervous system?
The afferent neurones or Sensory neurones. Further divided to 2 subtypes, the visceral (from inner organs) and somatic (from skin). There is also the cranial nerves which provide information to the CNS.
What is the other name for sensory?
The other name for sensory is afferent. Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
Sensory neurons are called afferent neurons because they carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. "Afferent" means to carry inward, referring to the direction of information flow towards the central nervous system.
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.
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
What nerve acts as the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) carries sensory information about light intensity to the brain as part of the afferent pathway in the pupillary reflex.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What is a body part that gathers information about its surroundings?
The sense organs gather information about the body's surroundings. These stimuli are carried by afferent or sensory neurons to the central nervous system.
What is the site of axons and afferent neurons?
The site of axons and afferent neurons is the peripheral nervous system. Afferent neurons carry sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system, while axons are the long projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
