· 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 CNS
o Motor (efferent) Division
§ Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles and glands, to effect (bring about) a motor response
Afferent 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.
