Detailed explanation-1: -Cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and ganglia make up the peripheral nervous system. The afferent division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses to the CNS; the efferent division carries impulses away from the CNS.
Detailed explanation-2: -The afferent or sensory division transmits impulses from peripheral organs to the CNS. The efferent or motor division transmits impulses from the CNS out to the peripheral organs to cause an effect or action.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
