Definition of afferent in English:

afferent

adjective ˈaf(ə)r(ə)ntˈæf(ə)rənt

Physiology

Conducting or conducted inwards or towards something (for nerves, the central nervous system; for blood vessels, the organ supplied).
〔生理〕（神经朝中央神经系统）传入的；（血管向其供给器官）输入的。 EFFERENT 的反义词
The opposite of efferent
Example sentencesExamples
- Hypoxia could disturb respiratory afferent pathways and neural processing at more than one level.
- There is increasing support for the idea that in asthma the efferent and afferent nerve fibers may be changed in their capacity to be stimulated.
- Sensory systems are generally presumed to convey peripheral afferent signals to the central nervous system with a high degree of fidelity.
- Cough is mediated by the interaction of sensory afferent nerves, central cough reflexes, and local axon reflexes.
- In addition, the dorsal central column of primary afferent fibers within the spinal cord appears susceptible to the inhibitory effects of hypoxia in rats.

noun ˈaf(ə)r(ə)ntˈæf(ə)rənt

An afferent nerve fibre or vessel.
传入神经纤维（或血管）
Example sentencesExamples
- In addition, cholinergic afferents can be stimulated by a variety of mediators involved in allergen-induced airway inflammation.
- It may also be the site of projection of proprioceptive afferents from the respiratory muscles and chest wall.
- Muscle receptor afferents are involved in the level and timing of respiratory activity.
- These afferents bypass the olfactory neuropil in the antennal lobe to project into the antennal mechanosensory and motor centers.
- Proprioceptor afferents project to the phrenic motor neurons and affect their firing rate.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Latin afferent- 'bringing towards', from the verb afferre, from ad- 'to' + ferre 'bring'.
