Pelvic splanchnic nerve contains?
Parasympathetic fibres arise from S2,S3,S4. Carry preganglionic parasympathetic and visceral afferent fibres from pelvic and genital organs.
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
What afferent neurons convey information?
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.
Which type of nerve cell carries messages toward the brain?
sensory or afferent nerve cells carry messages to the brain
What is the function of spinal nerves- afferent?
They carry nerve impulses from your sensory organs, like your eyes, to your brain, or your central nervous system (CNS). When your eyes see something shiny on the ground, your afferent nerves tell your brain what your eyes see. In contrast, efferent nerves carry nerve impulses from your brain to parts of your body. So, when you see something shiny on the ground, your brain tells you to pick it up and look at it. Efferent = "Exiting", the nerves impulses are exiting your brain. Afferent = the opposite
Afferent nerves are also called what?
Nerve cell called sensory neurons. An axon also known as a nerve fiber is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.If the fibres which are the branched projections attach to the cell body of nerve cell are dendrites
What is another word for sensory nerve?
Afferent nerve
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.
What Nerve to the brain triggers pain?
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).
Does the white rami communicans contain fibers of a preganglionic or postganglionic neurons?
Preganglionic because they are myelinated. FALSE
Whiat nerve the afferent or efferent instructs your brain to avoid touching something hot?
afferent.
What does a bundle of neurons form?
A bundle of neurons is called a nerve. The neuron bundle, nerve, has afferent and efferent pathways, that means that it is like highways that are parallel to each other yet carry impulses, or traffic, in both directions.
