PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory Neurons Our afferent neurons, if you recall, are the nerves in our body which send signals to the central nervous system about the information they have gathered. Because the afferent neurons sense information, we call them sensory neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -In biology, the afferent nerves are defined as the projections of axons that carry the stimulus from the peripheral organs to the central nervous system. The information of the stimulus received by afferent nerves is known as ‘sensory data’.
