Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensory pathway consists of sensory receptors, afferent neurons, and the central nervous system. Afferent neurons transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to the spinal cord and brain. Efferent neurons, on the other hand, transmit motor commands from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands. Therefore, the neurons of the sensory pathway only contain afferent neurons, not efferent neurons or voluntary muscle fibers.
