Afferent, or sensory, nerves allow information such as pain, temperature and taste to be carried from the periphery of the body to the brain (Fehrenbach, 2002). Efferent, or motor, nerves allow information to be carried from the brain to the body for the movement of muscles (Fehrenbach, 2002). The twelve cranial...
