Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensory (afferent) division of the nervous system is responsible for carrying sensory information from the body to the brain. This includes information about temperature, which is detected by thermoreceptors in the skin. Therefore, the nerve fibers sending signals about cool temperatures on the skin would belong to the sensory (afferent) division of the nervous system.
