Question

sensory (afferent) neurons do which of the following?
o receive incoming signals and initiate outgoing nerve signals
o carry signals to muscles
o carry signals to glands
o carry signals to spinal cord and brain

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Sensory (afferent) neurons are responsible for detecting stimuli from the environment and transmitting these sensory signals to the central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord and brain. They do not initiate outgoing nerve signals (motor neurons do that for muscle - or gland - related responses). Signals to muscles are carried by motor neurons, and signals to glands are also part of motor - neuron functions related to the autonomic nervous system.

Answer:

Carry signals to spinal cord and brain
