Question

Nerves that carry impulses from sense organ to brain or spinal cord are

• A. Dendrites
• B. Afferent nerves
• C. Motor nerves
• D. Efferent nerves

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we need to identify the nerves that carry impulses from sense organs to the brain or spinal cord.

1. Understanding the Types of Nerves:
- Dendrites: These are part of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons but do not carry impulses from sense organs to the brain or spinal cord.
- Afferent nerves: These are sensory nerves that carry impulses from sense organs to the brain or spinal cord. They are also called sensory nerves.
- Motor nerves: These nerves carry impulses from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands to produce an action.
- Efferent nerves: These nerves carry impulses away from the brain or spinal cord to the muscles or glands.

2. Identifying the Correct Answer:
The nerves that carry impulses from sense organs to the brain or spinal cord are called **Afferent nerves**.

Final Answer:
The correct answer is option (B): Afferent nerves.
