Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons extending from a peripheral ganglion to an effector are called postganglionic fibers. Preganglionic fibers extend from the spinal cord or brain to peripheral ganglia. Efferent fibers are any fibers that carry signals away from the central nervous system, including both motor and autonomic fibers. Afferent fibers carry signals towards the central nervous system. Ganglionic fibers is not a commonly used term in this context.
