They carry nerve impulses from your sensory organs, like your eyes, to your brain, or your central nervous system (CNS). When your eyes see something shiny on the ground, your afferent nerves tell your brain what your eyes see. In contrast, efferent nerves carry nerve impulses from your brain to parts of your body. So, when you see something shiny on the ground, your brain tells you to pick it up and look at it. Efferent = "Exiting", the nerves impulses are exiting your brain. Afferent = the opposite
What else can I help you with?
3 types of nerves in spinal cord?
The three types of nerves in the spinal cord are: afferent, efferent, and interneurons.
What carries impulses through the spinal cord and brain to other organs?
Afferent nerves
What are the neurons that conduct the nerve impulses from the spinal cord and the brainstem to the thalamus called?
afferent nerves of the ascending spinal pathways.
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
What type of nerves are spinal nerves Are they Afferent Efferent or Mixed?
Spinal nerves are mixed nerves, meaning they contain both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerve fibers. This allows them to transmit both sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and motor commands from the central nervous system to the body.
What is function of spinal nerves?
The spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and the body parts.
What nerves carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord?
remember the word SAMESensory are AfferentMotor are Efferent
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What are the nerves that gather information from the environment and carry it to the CNS?
The sensory nerves gather information from the environment and carry it to the central nervous system. These nerves include the cranial nerves and spinal nerves, which transmit signals such as touch, pain, temperature, and pressure to the brain and spinal cord for processing.
What composed the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is composed of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord. Efferent nerves travel from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the rest of the body. Afferent nerves travel from the body, back up the spinal cord, and back to the brain.
Neurons that collect messages from sense organs and carry those to the spinal cord or the brain are called?
afferent nerves
Carries impulses between spinal cord and body parts?
CENTRAL
