Question

multiple choice question
______ receive information from sensory organs.

afferent or sensory neurons
efferent or motor neurons
sensory and motor neurons
motor and interneurons

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the function of each neuron type:

• Afferent (sensory) neurons: Transmit sensory info from organs to CNS.
• Efferent (motor) neurons: Send signals from CNS to muscles/glands (not sensory input).
• "Sensory and motor neurons": Motor neurons don't receive sensory info, so this is incorrect.
• "Motor and Interneurons": Both motor and interneurons (process in CNS) don't receive sensory input from organs.

Only afferent/sensory neurons receive info from sensory organs.

Answer:

A. Afferent or sensory neurons
