Question
the sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system:
a transmits action potentials to sensory organs
b does not involve sensory receptors
c stimulates glands to release hormones
d stimulates muscle contractions
e conveys action potentials to the cns
The sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system is responsible for carrying sensory information (in the form of action potentials) from sensory receptors (not to sensory organs as in option A) to the central nervous system (CNS). Option B is incorrect as it does involve sensory receptors. Option C is related to the endocrine system (hormone - releasing glands). Option D is more related to the motor (efferent) division which stimulates muscle contractions. Option E correctly states that it conveys action potentials to the CNS.
