Answer: Skin; Brain, GSA - General Somatic Afferent

Explanation:

<em>Whilst bushwalking, Brian begins to feel chafing sensation in his thighs. In order to perceive this chafing, neural impulses must travel in one direction – from his </em><em><u>skin</u></em><em> to his </em><em><u>brain</u></em><em>. This information would travel via </em><em><u>GSA </u></em><em>neurones.</em>

The peripheral mechanoreceptors which are found on the skin and used to detect movement will detect the chafing and send it to the brain.

This information will be received by the brain through General Somatic Afferent neurons which are spread across the body and have the primary function of detecting touch and temperature.
