afferent/sensory neurons
Neurotoxin (:
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.
· 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.

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
A neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical signals in the form of nerve impulses. They play a critical role in transmitting information between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.

The sensory or afferent division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from the sense organs to the CNS.
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
