  2. Afferent nerve fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afferent_nerve_fiber

    Ad and ex give an mnemonic device for remembering the relationship between afferent and efferent : afferent connection arrives and an efferent connection exits. [6] Another mnemonic device used for remembering afferent and efferent (in terms of the spinal cord, with its dorsal/ventral organization) is SAME DAVE.

  3. Efferent nerve fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efferent_nerve_fiber

    A bundle of these fibers constitute an efferent nerve. [1] The opposite direction of neural activity is afferent conduction, [2] [3] [4] which carries impulses by way of the afferent nerve fibers of sensory neurons. In the nervous system, there is a "closed loop" system of sensation, decision, and reactions.

  4. Software package metrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_package_metrics

    Afferent couplings signal inward. Efferent couplings (Ce): The number of classes in other packages that the classes in a package depend upon is an indicator of the package's dependence on externalities. Efferent couplings signal outward.

  5. Projection fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_fiber

    Projection fibers consist of efferent and afferent fibers uniting the cortex with the lower parts of the brain and with the spinal cord.In human neuroanatomy, bundles of axons (nerve fibers) called nerve tracts, within the brain, can be categorized by their function into association tracts, projection tracts, and commissural tracts.

  6. Nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve

    Efferent nerves conduct signals from the central nervous system along motor neurons to their target muscles and glands. Bundles of these fibres are known as efferent nerves. Mixed nerves contain both afferent and efferent axons, and thus conduct both incoming sensory information and outgoing muscle commands in the same bundle. All spinal nerves ...

  7. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Three regions make up the accommodation neural circuit, the afferent limb, the efferent limb and the ocular motor neurons that are between the afferent and efferent limb. The afferent limb of the circuit This limb contains the main structures; the retina that contains the retinal ganglion axons in the optic nerve, chiasm and tract, the lateral ...

  8. General visceral afferent fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_visceral_afferent...

    In the abdomen, general visceral afferent fibers usually accompany sympathetic efferent fibers. This means that a signal traveling in an afferent fiber will begin at sensory receptors in the afferent fiber's target organ, travel up to the ganglion where the sympathetic efferent fiber synapses, continue back along a splanchnic nerve from the ganglion into the sympathetic trunk, move into a ...

  9. Motor nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_nerve

    A motor nerve, or efferent nerve, is a nerve that contains exclusively efferent nerve fibers and transmits motor signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the muscles of the body. This is different from the motor neuron , which includes a cell body and branching of dendrites, while the nerve is made up of a bundle of axons.
