It's the middle cerebellar peduncle.
As for superior cerebellar and inferior cerebellar peduncles, they are both contain afferent and efferent fibres.

What part of a spinal nerve contains only efferent fibers?
The ventral root of the spinal nerve has the efferent fibers and the dorsal root has the afferent. Prior to joining each other in the spine they each consist of only those fibers.
What type of fibers make up the posterior and anterior roots of the spinal nerve?
Both Afferent and Efferentboth sensory and motorContains motor & sensory fibers!The spinal cord consists of nerve fibers that are afferent and efferent.
How does habenular nucleus receive its afferent olfactory fibers?
It receives the afferent olfactory fibres via the stria medullaris thalami.
What part of the human body system does the cerebellum belong to?
The cerebellum works with the brainstem through means of the cerebellar peduncles. These bundles of nerve fibers are connected to the medulla oblongata by a pair of inferior peduncles, middle peduncles connect to the pons and superior peduncles connect to the midbrain. The main function of the cerebellum is mainly assessing certain types of sensory input (such as touch) and assisting in the monitoring of muscle movement. Other functions it may be linked to are spacial perception, timekeeping (such as judging elapsed time; predicting where the location of a moving object in a few seconds), distinguishing between two similar sounding words/tones, planning and scheduling tasks, controlling emotions/ impulse and maintaining attention.
Nerve fibers that conduct sensory signals to the central nervous system is known as?
Nerves that conduct to the CNS are afferent.
What part of a spinal nerve contains only efferent fibers?
The ventral root of the spinal nerve has the efferent fibers and the dorsal root has the afferent. Prior to joining each other in the spine they each consist of only those fibers.
What type of fibers make up the posterior and anterior roots of the spinal nerve?
Both Afferent and Efferentboth sensory and motorContains motor & sensory fibers!The spinal cord consists of nerve fibers that are afferent and efferent.
Synapse site for afferent fibers to sensory cortex?
Thalamus
Are effernet nerve fibers described as motor nerve fibers?
Yes, remember the mnemonic SAME DAVESAME DAVE:sensory is afferent, motor is efferentdorsal is afferent, ventral is efferent
How does habenular nucleus receive its afferent olfactory fibers?
It receives the afferent olfactory fibres via the stria medullaris thalami.
Does the amygdaloid nucleus receive its afferent fibers from the olfactory tract?
Yes!
What is an important synapse site for afferent fibers traveling to the sensory cortex?
The thalamus.
What is the fiber type in the dorsal root?
efferent (motor) I'm guessing it's choice B in your packet?

What is the function of cerebral peduncles?
Cerebral peduncles are responsible for connecting the cerebrum to the rest of the brain and spinal cord. They contain fiber tracts that carry motor signals from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord and brainstem. Additionally, they are involved in coordinating voluntary movement and posture.
Afferent nerve fibers enter the part of the spinal cord called?
gray commissure
What structure when activated reduces a muscles ability to create force?
Gamma Afferent fibers
