Afferent nerve fiber
In the
peripheral nervous system
, an
afferent nerve fiber
is the nerve fiber (
axon
) of an afferent neuron (
sensory neuron
). It is a long process (projection) extending far from the
nerve cell body
that carries
nerve impulses
from
sensory receptors
or sense organs
toward
the
central nervous system
. The opposite direction of neural activity is
efferent
conduction.
