The sensory division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from sense organs to the central nervous system. The motor division transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.
afferent/sensory neurons
The afferent division of the PNS carries impulses inward to a central organ or section, as nerves that conduct impulses from the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal cord
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses between the spinal cord and other body parts.
the central nervous system and the peripheral
The sensory division transmits sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, allowing us to perceive and respond to our environment. The motor division controls voluntary and involuntary movements by sending signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.
These are nerves in animals. They include central and peripheral; peripheral include somatic and autonomic.
The somatic division of the peripheral nervous system controls voluntary movements, such as skeletal muscle contractions. It also transmits sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints to the central nervous system for processing.
The fiber that transmits impulses to the central nervous system is called an afferent or sensory fiber. These fibers carry sensory information from receptors in the body to the brain and spinal cord, allowing for the perception of different sensations like touch, temperature, and pain.
Motor neurons carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs. They are a part of the peripheral nervous system and transmit signals to muscles and glands, causing them to contract or secrete in response to stimuli.
No, the sensory afferent division conveys impulses towards the central nervous system. Afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
