What carries messages to and from the brain?
Afferent nerves carry messages to and from the brain.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
What kinds of messages do your nerves ending carry do your nerve endings carry?
pain
Which nerves innervate the taste buds?
Brances of the Facial (VII), Glossopharyngeal (IX), and Vagus (X) cranial nerves carry information about taste
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Afferent
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves
What is the disorder of the nerves that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord?
peripheral neuropathy
Which cranial nerve's carry gustatory information?
Brances of the Facial (VII), Glossopharyngeal (IX), and Vagus (X) cranial nerves carry information about taste
What are the functions of afferent and efferent nerves?
Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the brain, allowing us to sense touch, temperature, pain, and other stimuli. Efferent nerves, on the other hand, transmit signals from the brain to the muscles and glands, enabling movement and physical responses.
Does peripheral refer to torso and head?
Peripheral nerves may refer to the head and torso. The peripheral nerves carry information from the spinal cord to the rest of the body as well as information to and from the brain.
What two cranial nerves carry sensory information about blood pressure to the brain?
glossopharyngeal, vagus
What percentage of the nervous system perceives pain?
100%, I believe. The entire nervous system is made up of nerves. And nerves, in general receive pain, pleasure, or both. Hope this helped a little. The above is incorrect. Not all nerves carry pain signals. There are different nerves that carry information to the brain called afferent nerves and nerves that carry information from the brain out to the body called efferent nerves. There are also central and peripheral nerve fibers. The peripheral afferent nerves carry pain signals to the central afferent nerves which in turn carry the pain signals to the brain. The peripheral nervous system is made of three types of nerve fibers named groups A,B, and C type fibers. The group C fibers carry pain signals. I am trying to find the percentage myself but I have read that it is around 30% of the nervous system is capable of sensing pain.
What is the disorder of the nerve that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord?
Peripheral nervous disorders or peripheral neuropathies are disorders of the peripheral nerves, which carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord.
What is an efferent neuron?
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
What is meant by motor peripheral nerves?
peripheral nerves are either motor, meaning that they are involved in motor activity such as walking, or sensory, meaning that they carry sensory information back to the CNS
What do nerves of somatic nervous system control?
The nerves of the somatic nervous system control many different things. They carry the sensory data into the spinal cord, carry information into and out of the brain stem, and integrate sensory input and motor output.
Which nerves carry messages from organs to brain?
Sensory nerves.
