What do the terms afferent and efferent mean?
· Afferent and efferent divisions are:o Sensory (afferent) Division§ Somatic afferent nerves - carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the CNS§ Visceral afferent nerves - transmit impulses from visceral organs to the CNSo Motor (efferent) Division§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor responseAfferent nerves are the one that carry the information from periphery to central nervous system for further processing. While efferent nerves carry the processed information from central nervous system towards the periphery for action.
What nerve carries impulses away from the brain?
Motor or efferent nerves.
What is the bundle of nerve fibers that send messages to the brain which interprets them?
The nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
What nerve is carrying the afferent and efferent impulses during the patellar reflex?
The nerves innervate the quadriceps. The afferent nerves are the muscle spindles and the efferent are the motor neurons.
What neurons carry impulses away from the spinal cord and the brain?
the sensory neurons
What nerves carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord?
remember the word SAMESensory are AfferentMotor are Efferent
What are the Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system called?
efferent nerve
What to motor nerves do?
Motor nerves allow the brain to stimulate muscle contraction. A motor nerve is an efferent nerve that exclusively contains the axons of somatic and branchial motoneurons, which innervate skeletal muscles (that ensure locomotion) and branchial muscles (that motorize the face and neck).
Does the efferent system sends information from the brain to spinal cord throughout the body?
You are correct; efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain to/and spinal cord throughout the body. Efferent nerves, otherwise known as motor or effector neurons, carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles or glands and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear).The term 'efferent' can also be used in more localized locations (though still in the nervous system). For example, a neuron's efferent synapse provides input to another neuron, and not vice-versa. Vice-versa would be afferent. (see below)The opposite of efferent neurons are afferent, which are neurons that carry impulses from the body back to the brain. An easy mnemonic: Efferent connections Exit. Afferent connections Arrive.Hope this helps!
What two nerves carry activating impulses to the muscles of inspiration?
The Phrenic & Intercostal nerves.
What do the nerves carry to the muscles?
Electrical impulses telling them to contract or relax.
