Does a sensory neuron transmit afferent impulses to the cns?
True
Which neuron delivers sensations to the cns?
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?
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.
What do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· 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.
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
What is the difference between afferent and efferent pathways?
The major difference is the direction of travel for nerve impulses. In the afferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling away from the brain - these tend to be motor impulses. In the efferent nervous system, the impulses are traveling towards the brain - these tend to be sensory impulses.
Impulses are carried away from the brain and spinal cord by the?
afferent
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Sensory nerves are responsible for carrying impulses toward the central nervous system (CNS). These nerves transmit information about sensations such as touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception from the body to the brain and spinal cord for processing.
Neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord?
Afferent
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 is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Afferent neurons transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They are responsible for detecting stimuli such as touch, temperature, pain, and pressure, and relaying this information to the brain for processing.
