the sensory neurons
Afferent neurons, also known as sensory neurons, carry impulses from sense organs to the spinal cord or brain. They are responsible for transmitting sensory information, such as touch, pain, temperature, and other stimuli, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to these inputs.
There are three types of neurons. 1.Sensory neurons: which carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord. 2.Motor neurons : which perform an opposite function to that of sensory neurons by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands. 3. Inter neurons : which connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them.
Impulses from the brain go mostly through the channels in the spinal cord and control most everything that goes on in the body. It is a two way street with information generated chemicals being carried throughout the body.The brain uses neurons to decide what information is acted upon.
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
