Question

Part A If an AFFERENT neuron was severed, what type of signal would be lost? Only sensory signals going to the CNS Only sensory signals going away from the CNS Either sensory or motor signals depending on which exact neuron is severed Only motor signals going to the CNS Both sensory and motor signals Only motor signals going away from the CNS Submit My Answers Give Up My Answers Part B If a typical nerve traveling between your spinal cord and your toe was severed, what type of signal would be lost? Only sensory signals going to the CNS Only motor signals going to the CNS Either sensory or motor signals depending on which exact neuron is severed Only motor signals going away from the CNS Only sensory signals going away from the CNS Both sensory and motor signals Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

Part -A :

Efferent pathways carrys signals away from the central nervous system.Essentially they are signals that your brain tell your body to do, like blinking of eyes.Afferent neurons bring stimuli to the brain where the signal is integrated and processed.The brain then cordinates response via efferent signals back to the rest of the body

If an efferent neuron was served both sensory and motor neurons are lost

If a typical nerve travelling between your spinal cord and your toe was served , Both sensory and motar neurons are lost
