Afferent neurons do this. Efferent do the opposite. It does not matter which system the neurons belong to i.e. Automonic vs. sympathetic. This is a general definition of the direction which nerve impulses are conducting. Afferent nerves are more commonly but less accurately known as sensory nerves.

Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?

There is no specific type of neuron that transmits impulses directly from a motor neuron to a sensory neuron. Motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, while sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system for processing. Communication between motor and sensory pathways typically involves interneurons within the central nervous system.


An efferent neuron carries impulses in the direction opposite of?

opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.


What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?

motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop


What is the name of the neurone that carries impulses to the central nervous system?

The neuron that carries impulses to the central nervous system is called a sensory neuron. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to sensory information.


What is another name for an inter-neuron?

Another name for an inter-neuron is a "relay neuron." These neurons receive signals from sensory neurons and transmit them to motor neurons or other interneurons to coordinate a response in the central nervous system.
