Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The sensory (afferent) division carries sensory signals by way of afferent nerve fibers from receptors in the central nervous system (CNS). It can be further subdivided into somatic and visceral divisions. The somatic sensory division carries signals from receptors in the skin, muscles, bones and joints.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
