They also contain visceral afferent fibers.
It is composed entirely of afferent fibers.
These cells are in contact with afferent fibers that are responsible for transmitting signals to the brain.
They are afferent fibers, conveying input signals from the periphery to the central nervous system.
Mechanoreceptors also help lower thresholds for action potential generation in afferent fibers and thus make them more likely to fire in the presence of sensory stimulation.
Axon reflex suggests that the afferent fiber is bifurcated before connecting to the dorsal horn.
The nerves contain preganglionic sympathetic and visceral afferent fibers.
Both divisions of receptor cells release neurotrasmitters to afferent fibers causing action potential firing.
When the head is moved, the force moves the hair cells forward, which sends signals to afferent fibers and on to the brain.
Signals from these cells are also transmitted along afferent fibers and on to the brain.
