Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Afferent neurons carry sensory information from the body to the nervous system, including the senses of touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception. If Ikram has a problem with his afferent neurons, he would not be able to feel pain, but other behaviors would not necessarily be affected. Option B is incorrect as attention is regulated by different parts of the brain. Option C is incorrect as movement is controlled by the efferent neurons. Option D is incorrect as hearing is controlled by cranial nerve VIII, which is not associated with the afferent neurons.
