Paresthesia coverage depends upon which afferent nerves are stimulated.
Sensory afferent nerves trigger a systemic sympathetic activation leading to marked vasoconstriction.
Thus they are synonymous with afferent nerves.
The afferent nerves from the baroreceptors are called buffer nerves.
Nerves that carry signals toward the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) are known as afferent nerves.
The cell bodies for the afferent nerves are found in the geniculate ganglion for taste sensation.
The hair cells are made up of 40 to 70 stereocilia and one hair cell, called the kinocilium, which is connected to an afferent nerve.
These act on receptors on the afferent nerve fibres which lie in apposition to the glomus cell to cause an action potential.
A single afferent nerve fibre branches to innervate up to 90 such endings.
In the center of the corpuscle is the inner bulb, a fluid-filled cavity with a single afferent unmyelinated nerve ending.
