Question

question 2 1 pts which type of nerve carries sensory information from the skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the central nervous system?
○ sympathetic
○ efferent
○ afferent
○ parasympathetic

Explanation:

• Sympathetic nerves are part of the autonomic nervous system, involved in "fight - or - flight" responses, not carrying sensory info from skin, muscles, joints to CNS.
• Efferent nerves (motor nerves) carry signals from CNS to effectors (muscles, glands), not sensory info to CNS.
• Afferent nerves (sensory nerves) transmit sensory information from sensory receptors (in skin, skeletal muscles, joints) to the central nervous system.
• Parasympathetic nerves are part of the autonomic nervous system, involved in "rest - and - digest" responses, not carrying sensory info from skin, muscles, joints to CNS.

Answer:

C. Afferent
