Sensory impulses play a crucial role in regulating the rhythm of breathing by providing the brain with information about the body's internal and external environments. Chemoreceptors detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood, while mechanoreceptors in the lungs sense stretch and pressure. These sensory inputs are relayed to the respiratory centers in the brainstem, which adjust the rate and depth of breathing accordingly to maintain homeostasis and respond to activities such as exercise or stress. This dynamic feedback loop ensures that the body meets its oxygen demands and effectively removes carbon dioxide.
Sensory impulses are typically in the form of electrical signals that travel along nerve fibers from sensory receptors to the brain or spinal cord. These impulses carry information about sensations such as touch, temperature, pain, and pressure. The brain then processes these impulses to generate a conscious perception of the sensory input.
sensory neurons
Sensory receptors, such as photoreceptors in the eyes, mechanoreceptors in the skin, and chemoreceptors in the nose, are responsible for converting sensory messages (like light, pressure, and chemicals) into neural impulses. These neural impulses are then transmitted to the brain for processing and interpretation.
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.
The sensory or afferent division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from the sense organs to the CNS.
The taste and touch sensation
Sensory impulses are typically in the form of electrical signals that travel along nerve fibers from sensory receptors to the brain or spinal cord. These impulses carry information about sensations such as touch, temperature, pain, and pressure. The brain then processes these impulses to generate a conscious perception of the sensory input.
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.

vagus nerve
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.
