Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors of the skin and other organs to the central nervous system (i.e., brain and spinal cord), whereas efferent neurons carry motor information away from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory nerves also known as afferent nerves, carry impulses from sensory receptors towards the brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pyramidal tract originates from the cerebral cortex, and it divides into two main tracts: the corticospinal tract and the corticobulbar tract. Each of these tracts carry efferent signals to either the spinal cord or the brainstem.
