Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, carry impulses towards the brain and spinal cord. These neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from various parts of the body to the central nervous system.
The neurons that carry impulses towards the brain and spinal cord are called sensory neurons or afferent neurons. These neurons transmit information from sensory receptors located throughout the body to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
The neurons that carry impulses towards the brain and spinal cord are called sensory neurons or afferent neurons. These neurons have specialized receptors in various parts of the body, such as the skin, muscles, and organs, that detect different types of stimuli, such as touch, temperature, pain, or pressure. When these receptors are triggered, they generate electrical signals that are sent as impulses through the sensory neurons towards the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), where the information is processed. This allows us to perceive and respond to sensory stimuli in our environment.
