eg touch.Efferent neurones carrying signals away from the CNS,......
Sensory neurones = afferent neurones?
Motor neurones = efferent neurones?

Yes, both are the same but different name.

-
afferent means "to convey towards the centre" , since sensory neurones carry impulse to the CNS (central nervous system i.e. brain and spinal cord) so they are also known as afferent neurones.

efferent means "to convey from centre" , so since motor neurones carry impulse FROM CNS, they are also called efferent neurones.

hope this helps. :)

-
afferent neuorone carries an impules or signal towards the central nervous system, and so would be used to signal a sense being stimulated, eg touch.


Efferent neurones carrying signals away from the CNS, to stimulate a muscle movement for example
