Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efferent fibers are responsible for carrying impulses away from the central nervous system (including the brain) and towards peripheral tissues and organs, while afferent fibers carry impulses towards the central nervous system. Projection fibers and somatic fibers are not specifically related to directionality of nerve impulses, and apolar fibers do not exist in the nervous system.
