What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Afferent
What is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
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.
What carries messages to and from the brain?
Afferent nerves carry messages to and from the brain.
Does a efferent neuron convey information away from the hippocampus?
Technically efferent neurons carry information AWAY from anything, afferent neurons carry information TOWARD something. So the hippocampus may have efferent information going to other parts of the brain (limbic structures, frontal lobe structures, etc). Most often efferent information refers to motor output in or to the peripheral nervous system.
What is the difference between afferent and efferent nerve fibers?
Afferent refers to pathways leading to the cortex (ie, sensory). Efferent are pathways leading away (ie, motor). You are *affected* by a situation, you *effect* change on someone else.
What is the difference between afferent and efferent duct?
Afferent means going towards a center, in this case, a vessel going towards a lymph node. Efferent means going away from center, in this case, these are vessels associated with the thymus and spleen. A vessel can be both afferent and efferent if it leaves a peripheral lymph node (where it's efferent to the node) and connects to a greater node, where it becomes an afferent vessel as it enters the greater node or a lymphatic duct.
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
What is a lymphatic vessel?
In anatomy, lymph vessels are thin walled, valved structures that carry lymph.
What structure ensures a slow flow of the lymph nodes?
Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
Neurons that carry information to the spinal cord?
afferent
What kind of nerves carry impulses toward the cns?
Afferent
What neurons that carry impulse to the brain and spinal cord called?
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
What is the afferent process called?
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
Neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord?
Afferent
What blood vessel has bigger activities?
Blood vessels are structures that carry the blood from the heart to all the tissues of the body and then back to the heart.arteries: large blood vessels running away from the heartveins: large blood vessels running toward the heart
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.
