Sensory information is received at sensory receptor sites and carried along sensory neural pathways to the:

• A. Brain
• B. Muscles
• C. Spinal cord only
• D. Glands

Answer: (A)

Sensory information travels from receptors through sensory pathways to the central nervous system, with the brain acting as the main processing hub for interpretation and perception. The spinal cord also carries these signals and can trigger reflexes, but conscious processing and understanding occur in the brain. Muscles and glands are effectors that respond to motor commands, not destinations for interpreting sensory input. So the brain is the correct destination for sensory information carried along sensory pathways.
