the alternating high and low pressure in the outer chamber produces ripples in the basilar membrane.
this movement bends the hair cells causing them to generate neural impulses.

Does a sensory neuron transmit afferent impulses to the cns?
True
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
What is an afferent neuron?
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 do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· Afferent and efferent divisions are:o Sensory (afferent) Division§ Somatic afferent nerves - carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the CNS§ Visceral afferent nerves - transmit impulses from visceral organs to the CNSo Motor (efferent) Division§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor responseAfferent nerves are the one that carry the information from periphery to central nervous system for further processing. While efferent nerves carry the processed information from central nervous system towards the periphery for action.
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent 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 is the difference between afferent and efferent pathways?
The major difference is the direction of travel for nerve impulses. In the afferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling away from the brain - these tend to be motor impulses. In the efferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling towards the brain - these tend to be sensory impulses.
Impulses are carried away from the brain and spinal cord by the?
afferent
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Afferent
Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?
No ,it carries impulses towards CNS .
Neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord?
Afferent
What is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
