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.
Afferent Neurons
Yes, they are.
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
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.
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
sensory neurons trust me i know this one for sure i went on over 29 websites to find this out
afferent neurons
The dorsal root of the spinal nerves carry sensory information to the brain and is hence an afferent pathway.
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".
Yes, they are.
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Afferent neurons
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
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 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.
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
