Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Sensory neuron
Concept:

Neural pathways are directional. Afferent pathways bring signals IN, while efferent pathways send signals OUT.

Solution:

  • Sensory (afferent) neurons detect stimuli in peripheral tissues and organs and carry those electrical impulses towards the Central Nervous System (spinal cord and brain) for integration.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Motor neuron: Carries signals away from the CNS to effectors.


  • Intermediate / Associative neuron: Synonymous with interneurons; located entirely within the CNS to process information.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
