Neural networks contain functional categories of neurons involved with input, output, and integration.The types of neurons that carry information that has been transduced by specialized sensory cells to the central nervous system are
A) interneurons.
B) transducing neurons.
C) afferent neurons.
D) motor neurons.
E) efferent neurons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Afferent neurons carry sensory information from the sensory organs to the central nervous system, where it can be processed and integrated by interneurons and eventually lead to the activation of motor neurons or efferent neurons to produce a response. Transducing neurons are not a commonly recognized category of neurons, so B is not a correct answer. Interneurons, motor neurons, and efferent neurons are involved in processing and generating movements or responses, but not in carrying sensory information to the CNS, so A, D, and E are not correct answers.
