Question

________ are the neurons carrying impulses away from the central nervous system

• A. Afferent neurons
• B. Efferent neurons
• C. Sensory neurons
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Efferent neurons

Neurons can be classified by the direction of the action potential or route by which information travels.
Afferent neurons convey information from tissues and organs into the central nervous system (e.g. sensory neurons).
Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the effector cells (e.g. motor neurons).
