Neurophysiology and Disorders (Chapters 13-20) Nerve Pathways: Afferent and Efferent Neurons • Afferent (Sensory) Neurons: Transmit sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system (CNS). They detect stimuli (light, sound, touch, pain, etc.) and convert them into electrical signals. • Efferent (Motor) Neurons: Transmit signals (motor commands) from the CNS to effector organs (muscles and glands). They initiate and control muscle contractions and glandular se...

1) NERVOUS SYSTEM FOUNDATIONS A. Neuron basics + pathways Neuron structure: soma (cell body), dendrites (input), axon (output), synaptic terminal. Afferent vs efferent • Afferent (sensory) neurons: carry information to CNS. o Modalities: pain, temperature, touch, proprioception. o Travel mainly via ascending tracts. • Efferent (motor) neurons: carry information from CNS to effectors. o Somatic efferents → skeletal muscle. o Autonomic efferents → smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gl...
