Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Sensory neurons carry impulses
A
from the central nervous system to the body.
B
from the body to the central nervous system.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons carry impulses from the receptors in the sense organs to the CNS, while the association or connection neurons carry impulses from the sensory to the motor neurons. The motor neurons carry impulses from the CNS to the effectors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from sense organs and internal organs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the central nervous system to organs, glands, and muscles-the opposite direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -A sensory neuron transmits impulses from a receptor, such as those in the eye or ear, to a more central location in the nervous system, such as the spinal cord or brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The afferent division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses to the CNS; the efferent division carries impulses away from the CNS.

Detailed explanation-5: -Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs. Sensory information is transmitted to the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.
