Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent neurons carry signals towards the CNS – afferent means “towards”. They provide information about the external environment and the regulatory functions being carried out by the nervous system. An afferent neuron has a receptor at its ending that generates action potentials in response to a particular stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary role of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the organs, limbs, and skin. The nerves of the PNS extend from the central nervous system to the outermost areas of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors found all over the body towards the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry motor information away from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body in order to initiate an action.
