peripheral 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.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called motor neurons. They transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements to occur.
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.
A neurone is a collection of specialized cells, along with supporting cells (oligodendrocytes), that convey or carry an electrical impulse to or away from the central nervous system.
No, the efferent tract is not the major ascending tract. The efferent tract is responsible for carrying nerve signals away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, while ascending tracts carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain.

Motor Nerves
That is referred to as a motor neuron.
they don't have a difference Unless you are talking about the direction of their signal. Afferent is taking information toward the central nervous system while efferent is taking information away from the central nervous system.
Of or pertaining to a periphery; constituting a periphery; peripheric., External; away from the center; as, the peripheral portion of the nervous system.
They are called as motor neurons.
This involves your nervous and muscular systems. When you tough the hot pan, a sensory neuron (nerve cell) will send a message to your central nervous system, which will relay the message through a motor neuron to your muscles to then contract your muscles and pull your hand off the hot stove.
They can be both. Afferent axons carry (sensory) information toward the central nervous system; efferent axons carry (motor command) information away from the central nervous system towards the muscles and glands. Think "affect" vs. "effect" or "arrive" vs. "exit".
opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.
The answer is the central send impulses and the brain and spinal chord are used in this application.
Organs and parts of your body send information to the central nervous system (that's your brain and spinal cord) by electrical impulses. When the impulses reach the central nervous system, a response is triggered. For example, if you touch a hot object, receptors on your skin will trigger an action potential in nerve cells. This action potential will be passed on to the next cell and so on until it reaches the central nervous system. The triggering of action potentials is what causes the electrical impulse. The central nervous system will then send impulses back to your hand via a motor nerve and will cause you to automatically pull your hand away.
