The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Afferent neurons carry impulses from _ to _", we can break it down step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Afferent Neurons**: Afferent neurons are responsible for carrying sensory information from the peripheral parts of the body to the central nervous system (CNS). They are also known as sensory neurons. 2. **Identifying the Direction of Impulse**: The primary function of afferent neurons is to transmit impulses from sensory receptors (which detect stimuli) to the CNS. This means that they carry information towards the CNS. 3. **Filling in the Blanks**: Based on the understanding that afferent neurons carry impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS, we can fill in the blanks: - From: Receptors - To: CNS 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the complete statement is: "Afferent neurons carry impulses from receptors to the CNS." ### Final Answer: Afferent neurons carry impulses from **receptors** to **CNS**. ---
