Efferent nerve fiber
In the
peripheral nervous system
, an
efferent nerve fiber
is the nerve fiber (
axon
) of an efferent neuron (
motor neuron
). It is a long process (projection) extending far from the
nerve cell 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
afferent
conduction.
