Afferent neurons are -neurons?
Yes, they are.
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, they are.
What neurons normally have the shortest axons?
somatic motor neurons
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
The reason why Sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons is:_ Afferent Neurons mean the neurons carries the nerve impulse toward the brain (CNS) or the spinal cord (PNS)._ Sensory which always begins from the outside spaces, or peripheral places outside from CNS or PNS, need to be carried to CNS or PNS to analyze.That's the reason why they called sensory neurons as afferent neurons which bring sensor toward the brain or spinal cord and it's exactly the way where sensory goes
What is the neuron that carries impulses away from the central nervous system?
sensory neurons trust me i know this one for sure i went on over 29 websites to find this out
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What does the dorsal root of the spinal cord carry?
The dorsal root of the spinal nerves carry sensory information to the brain and is hence an afferent pathway.
Afferent neurons are -neurons?
Yes, they are.
What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, they are.
In a three neuron reflex arc the afferent neurons synapse with?
The afferent neurons synapse with the interneuron.
When classified according to structure all neurons are?
Afferent neurons
Can atomic neurons be sensory or afferent neurons?
I believe you mean autonomic neurons (part of the ANS) and yes, they can be sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are the same as afferent neurons--meaning they carry signals towards the CNS. Think as afferent as 'approaching'. Anyhow, these neurons sense the conditions of your visceral organs and whatnot. Other wise it would have no information to judge for what signals to send. So yes, autonomic neurons consist of both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) neurons.
What neurons normally have the shortest axons?
somatic motor neurons
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
