ef·fer·ent fi·bers. 1  those fibers conveying impulses to effector tissues (smooth, cardiac, or striated muscle, or glands) in the periphery; those fibers exiting a specific cell group (that is, efferent fibers of the basilar pons), used in reference to a cell group.

Efferent nerve fiber. In the peripheral nervous system, an efferent nerve fiber is the axon of a motor neuron. The nerve fiber is a long process projecting far from the neuron's body that carries nerve impulses away from the central nervous system toward the peripheral effector organs (mainly muscles and glands).

The opposite direction of neural activity is efferent conduction. The efferent nerve fiber is the axon of a motor neuron. Bundles of these axons form a motor nerve, or efferent nerve. In the nervous system there is a closed loop system of sensation, decision, and reactions. This process is carried out through the activity of sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.

The efferent nerve fibers of motor neurons are involved in muscle control, both skeletal and smooth muscle. The cell body of the motor neuron is connected to a single, long axon and several shorter dendrites projecting out of the cell body itself. This axon then forms a neuromuscular junction with the effectors.

The efferent fibers pass through the optic radiation (lateral to the thalamus and the ventricles) in a radiated pattern (hence the name) and synapse on the lateral geniculate body. The lateral geniculate body is the stem of the optic nerve.

The pathway for the afferent fibers is the following (from the stimulatory cells in the periphery to the final synapse in the brain): exactly the opposite of the efferent pathway. Nerve fiber damage can alter the sight of a single eye, both eyes and certain areas of one eye and its scope of vision.

Efferent Neurons. Efferent Neurons (also known as efferent nerve fibers) are conducting cells that carry information from the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to muscles and organs throughout the body. These neurons carry electrical impulses that tell organs and muscles what to do.

The Optic Nerve is the second of the Twelve Cranial Nerves. It consists of both afferent and efferent visual sensory fibers. The word afferent means toward the centre, as in from a peripheral area of a limb to the central nervous system.

Afferent nerve fiber. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), an afferent nerve fiber is the axon of a sensory neuron. It is a long process extending far from the nerve cell body that carries an action potential from the sensory neuron toward the central nervous system (CNS).
