Carla Moyer · Answer 1

to deliver information about the physiological variable to the integrating center

Explanation:

The afferent or sensory neurons function in transmitting sensory information as action potential from the receptors to the CNS. It synapse with the inter neurons, at the spinal cord, for a bypass to the brain for mediation, The response from the brain is integrated (synapse with the efferent neuron) in the spinal cord and conducted by efferent or motor neuron to the effectors.
