The Nerves That Carry Information to the Central Nervous System

Question

The nerves that carry information to the central nervous system (CNS) are termed
A) motor nerves.
B) endocrine nerves.
C) sensory nerves.
D) cerebrospinal nerves.
E) central nerves.

Accepted Answer

Sensory nerves carry information from the sensory receptors to the CNS, while motor nerves carry information from the CNS to muscles or glands. Endocrine nerves do not exist, as the endocrine system uses hormones instead of nerves to transmit signals. Cerebrospinal nerves are not a specific type of nerve, but rather nerves that originate from or pass through the brainstem and spinal cord. Central nerves is not a term used in anatomy or neuroscience.
