Question

Afferent and efferent neurons are also known as____________

• A. Sensory neurons
• B. Motor neurons
• C. Both A and B
• D. Association neurons

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both A and B

• The neuron is a single nerve cell. There are three basic types of neurons association, afferent, and efferent.
• The association neurons comprise the central nervous system (CNS) i.e., the brain and spinal cord.
• The afferent neurons are also known as the sensory neurons. They bring the stimuli from the sensors (e.g., skin, eyes, ears) to the CNS.
• The efferent neurons are also known as motor neurons. They bring the responses from the brain to the muscles and the glands.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
