________ Carry Sensory Information to the CNS

Question

________ carry sensory information to the CNS.
A) Motor neurons
B) Efferent neurons
C) Multipolar neurons
D) Afferent neurons
E) Interneurons

Accepted Answer

Afferent neurons carry sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). Motor neurons carry information away from the CNS to muscles and glands. Efferent neurons are another name for motor neurons. Multipolar neurons have multiple branches/extensions from their cell body and can be either efferent or afferent. Interneurons are found entirely within the CNS and are responsible for relaying information between afferent and efferent neurons.
