**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Neurons**: Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the body. They play a crucial role in the nervous system by carrying signals. 2. **Types of Neurons**: Neurons can be categorized based on their function. The two main types relevant to this question are sensory neurons and motor neurons. 3. **Sensory Neurons**: These neurons are responsible for carrying input to the Central Nervous System (CNS). They are also referred to as **afferent neurons**. Sensory neurons collect information from sensory organs (like the eyes, skin, ears, nose, and tongue) and transmit this information to the CNS for processing. ...
