| 1. | Afferent signals are sensory neuronal signals that ascend to the brain.
|
| 2. | This electric current creates action potentials within the connected afferent neurons.
|
| 3. | The afferent of the muscle spindle bifurcates in the spinal cord.
|
| 4. | Afferent nerve endings without mechanoreceptor cells are called free nerve endings.
|
| 5. | Autonomic nerves, like somatic nerves, contain afferent and efferent fibers.
|
| 6. | The afferent neurons are either A fibers or C fibers.
|
| 7. | The loss of afferent signals induces functional changes in dorsal horn neurons.
|
| 8. | Type I afferent fibres have smaller receptive fields than type II fibres.
|
| 9. | Afferents distribute to the posterior nucleus and periventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus.
|
| 10. | They contain both preganglionic parasympathetic fibers as well as visceral afferent fibers.
