Consider the following

1. The central neural system (CNS) includes the brain and the spinal cord and is the site of information processing and control

2. The afferent nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1 Only

2 Only

1 and 2

None of the above

Explanation:

In the peripheral nervous system, an afferent nerve fibber is the nerve fibber (axon) of an afferent neuron (sensory neuron). It is a long process (projection) extending far from the nerve cell body that carries nerve impulses from sensory receptors or sense organs toward the central nervous system. The opposite direction of neural activity is efferent conduction.
