Afferent nerve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the nervous system, afferent neurons (otherwise known as sensory or receptor neurons), carry nerve impulses from receptors or sense organs toward the central nervous system. This term can also ...

>>>Afferent- "sensory." Brings information to the CNS about sensation (olfaction, audition, etc), ... >>>Efferent- Brings messages out of the CNS to muscles and glands (called "effectors") ... *Myelination affects the speed of conduction: myelinated neurons conduct signals MUCH faster (~250 miles/hour vs. ~2 mph).

(25). The differing physiological roles of the afferent and efferent arteriole require distinct kinetic features: rapid reactivity in the case of the afferent arteriole vs. an ability to efficiently maintain tone in the case of the efferent arteriole.
