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: -Afferent neurons are sensory neurons that carry nerve impulses from sensory stimuli towards the central nervous system and brain, while efferent neurons are motor neurons that carry neural impulses away from the central nervous systme and towards muscles to cause movement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory nerves transport sensory information such as touch, vision, taste, and smell, while motor nerves send electrical impulses that cause muscles to contract and move the body. Sensory nerves are also known as afferent nerves, and motor nerves are also known as efferent nerves.
