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.
Afferent Neurons
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Sensory neurons form the afferent division of the peripheral nervous system. These neurons carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
Yes, they are.
The reason why Sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons is:_ Afferent Neurons mean the neurons carries the nerve impulse toward the brain (CNS) or the spinal cord (PNS)._ Sensory which always begins from the outside spaces, or peripheral places outside from CNS or PNS, need to be carried to CNS or PNS to analyze.That's the reason why they called sensory neurons as afferent neurons which bring sensor toward the brain or spinal cord and it's exactly the way where sensory goes
Afferent Neurons
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

The afferent neurons for the micturition reflex are primarily located in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. These neurons convey sensory information from the bladder, including stretch and pressure signals, to the central nervous system. Specifically, they travel through the pelvic nerve, which relays information to the spinal cord and higher brain centers involved in bladder control.
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.

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.
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
