Efferent refers to nerves that carry signals away from the central nervous system to the body parts, such as motor neurons that control muscle movement. An example of an efferent nerve is the sciatic nerve, which carries signals from the spinal cord to the leg muscles for movement.
What else can I help you with?
What is example of efferent nerves?
The somatic nervous system contains efferent nerves, such as the motor neurons that control voluntary movement of muscles. For example, the efferent nerves that innervate the skeletal muscles in your arms to produce movement when you reach for something are part of the somatic efferent nerves.
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for an efferent neuron is a motor neuron. These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs in the body, enabling them to respond to stimuli.
Are efferent nerve fibers described as motor nerve fibers?
Yes, efferent nerve fibers are often described as motor nerve fibers. Efferent nerves carry signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling movement and bodily functions.
Is the efferent tract the major ascending tract?
No, the efferent tract is not the major ascending tract. The efferent tract is responsible for carrying nerve signals away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, while ascending tracts carry sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the brain.
An axon of an efferent neuron could synapse with?
An axon of an efferent neuron could synapse with a muscle fiber, gland, or another neuron in the peripheral nervous system.
What is example of efferent nerves?
The somatic nervous system contains efferent nerves, such as the motor neurons that control voluntary movement of muscles. For example, the efferent nerves that innervate the skeletal muscles in your arms to produce movement when you reach for something are part of the somatic efferent nerves.
What vessels give rise to peritubular capillaries?
efferent arteriole
Is the vena cava an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
efferent
Is the aorta an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
Afferent means going towards; efferent means going away from. In reference to the heart, all veins, including the inferior and superior vena cavae, are afferent. All arteries are efferent.
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for an efferent neuron is a motor neuron. These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs in the body, enabling them to respond to stimuli.
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
Is a blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart an afferent or efferent blood vessel?
efferent
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What is the difference between afferent and efferent arteries?
Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.
Does the autonomic nervous system use a two efferent neuron chain or a two afferent chain?
two efferent neurons
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!
Are efferent neurons bipolar?
Yes.
