Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Afferent neurons are sensory neurons which detect stimuli and send signals towards the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons are motor neurons which send signals away from the central nervous system towards the effectors (muscles/glands). Therefore, the best choice is B which correctly identifies afferent neurons as stimulus-detecting neurons and efferent neurons as effectors-sending neurons.
