Nerve07/sensory nerves (afferent peripheral nerves)
Electric signals (action potentials) from the receptors reach the central nervous system via the sensory nerves (afferent peripheral nerves).
The receptors convert stimuli, such as light, into electric signals (action potentials).
Receptors, such as the (retina of the) eye convert light into electric signals (action potentials). For this to be 'seen', it has to reach the cerebrum, which is a part of the central nervous system).
Electric signals (action potentials) from the receptors, such as the eyes, reach the central nervous system via the sensory nerves (afferent peripheral nerves).
