Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efferent nerves are responsible for carrying information from the brain and spinal cord to other regions of the body. This information is generally carried to effectors (muscles or glands) which actually carry out the response to stimuli. Afferent nerves, on the other hand, convey sensory information from the sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord. Sensory nerves are also a type of afferent nerve that specialized for detecting specific types of sensory information. Mirror nerves do not exist as a distinct category of nerves in the nervous system.
