| 1. | This electric current creates action potentials within the connected afferent neurons.
|
| 2. | The afferent neurons are either A fibers or C fibers.
|
| 3. | The main function of the IHCs is to transmit sound information via afferent neurons.
|
| 4. | These signals ( action potentials ) are transmitted along afferent neurons into the brain.
|
| 5. | Often tumor cells secrete growth factors which activate receptors close to primary afferent neurons.
|
| 6. | The primary afferent neurons responsible for histamine-induced itch are unmyelinated C-fibres.
|
| 7. | In the spinal cord reflex pathway the afferent neuron transmits information to spinal cord interneurons.
|
| 8. | The first order afferent neuron carries sensory information to the second order neuron in the dorsal horn.
|
| 9. | In the spinal cord, however, at least 75 afferent neurons are required to produce firing.
|
| 10. | Since bladder wall stretch is low during the storage phase, these afferent neurons fire at low frequencies.
