Yes, they are.

Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Are motor neurons the same as afferent?
No, motor neurons and afferent neurons are not the same. Motor neurons, also known as efferent neurons, transmit signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, facilitating movement and actions. In contrast, afferent neurons, or sensory neurons, carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system for processing. Thus, they serve different roles in the nervous system.
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
Sensory neurons are called afferent neurons because they carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. "Afferent" means to carry inward, referring to the direction of information flow towards the central nervous system.
What type of neurons form the afferent division of the PNS?
Sensory neurons form the afferent division of the peripheral nervous system. These neurons carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
When classified according to structure all neurons are?
Afferent neurons
Can atomic neurons be sensory or afferent neurons?
I believe you mean autonomic neurons (part of the ANS) and yes, they can be sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are the same as afferent neurons--meaning they carry signals towards the CNS. Think as afferent as 'approaching'. Anyhow, these neurons sense the conditions of your visceral organs and whatnot. Other wise it would have no information to judge for what signals to send. So yes, autonomic neurons consist of both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) neurons.
In a three neuron reflex arc the afferent neurons synapse with?
In a three neuron reflex arc, the afferent neurons synapse with interneurons in the spinal cord or brainstem. The interneurons then synapse with efferent neurons which transmit the signal to the effector organ to initiate a response.
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
Are motor neurons the same as afferent?
No, motor neurons and afferent neurons are not the same.

Sensory neurons form the afferent division of the peripheral nervous system. These neurons carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
What afferent neurons convey information?
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.
