What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Afferent neurons are -neurons?
Yes, they are.
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.

Afferent Neurons
What neuron carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
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.
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
Neurons that carry information to the spinal cord?
afferent
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.

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 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 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.
What is the site of axons and afferent neurons?
The site of axons and afferent neurons is the peripheral nervous system. Afferent neurons carry sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system, while axons are the long projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
