Question

Afferent nerve fibers carry sensations:

a) Through axons.
b) Toward the CNS.
c) Through motor nerve fibers.
d) Away from the CNS.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Toward the CNS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, carry nerve impulses from sensory receptors in tissues and organs to the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord.

For example, when you touch a hot stove, sensory neurons send the signal from your hand to your spinal cord and then to your brain, allowing you to perceive the sensation of heat and quickly pull your hand away.

So, the correct answer is: b) Toward the CNS.
