Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) are specialized to detect stimuli and send impulses towards the central nervous system, while efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) send signals away from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles and glands. Therefore, option B, afferent and efferent, is the best choice for the blanks in the question.
