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 carries impulses through the spinal cord and brain to other organs?
Afferent nerves
What nerves carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord?
remember the word SAMESensory are AfferentMotor are Efferent
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.
What is function of spinal nerves?
The spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and the body parts.
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
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 composed the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is composed of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord. Efferent nerves travel from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the rest of the body. Afferent nerves travel from the body, back up the spinal cord, and back to the brain.
Neurons that collect messages from sense organs and carry those to the spinal cord or the brain are called?
afferent nerves
Carries impulses between spinal cord and body parts?
