Afferent neurons are those that transmit signals from sensory transducers to the central nervous system (i.e., the spinal cord and the brain). The complementary group of neurons are the efferent neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors, that generate a response to the environmental input.

What are two types of conduction in a neuron?
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
What is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
Where are the cell bodies in relay neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
What is intermixed neuron?
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
What classified as an unipolar neuron?
Afferent
In a three neuron reflex arc the afferent neurons synapse with?
The afferent neurons synapse with the interneuron.
Neuron that's sends message to the brain?
Afferent
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
What neuron connects an afferent neuron to an efferent neuron?
Afferent neurons go to the Brain while efferent neurons go down
Are there more than one afferent neuron that will send a message to the brain?
No afferent neuron simply refers to any neuron bringing information to the brain. There are tons of afferent neurons bringing signals from all different parts and organs of the body. One neuron is not able to transfer all of the action potentials from the entire body through it, and thus many are needed.
Does a sensory neuron transmit afferent impulses to the cns?
True
What are two types of conduction in a neuron?
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
What Three kinds of neutrons that would be involved in a reflex impulse?
They are neurons and not neutrons. You have afferent neuron. Then you have intermediate neuron and then you have the efferent neuron in the reflex arc.
