Meanings of afferent fibers in English

These data suggest that sympathetic afferent fibers travel in the superficial subepicardium in an apex-to-base direction.

Despite the normal presence of Bdnf transcript, afferent fibers are disoriented near the organ of Corti.

We found gastric and duodenal vagal afferent fibers that respond to CCK and to intraluminal loads.

Outer hair cells (OHCs) are innervated by type II afferent fibers of as yet unknown function.

What cranial nerves contain afferent fibers?

Changes in multiple functions of primary afferent fibers were assessed and compared with a group of healthy control subjects.

Gastric and duodenal vagal afferent fibers increase their electrophysiological activity in relation to the mechanical presence of ingested nutrients.

Conclusions: The clear dose-response relationship in the brain response with increasing stimulus intensities probably reflects increased recruitment of afferent fibers.

Noxious stimuli are sensed and carried to the spinal cord dorsal horn by A delta and C primary afferent fibers.

CCK also activates vagal afferent fibers directly and modifies the response properties of vagal mechanosensitive fibers to gastric and duodenal loads.

Vagal afferent fibers travel deeper in the myocardium until they approach the atrioventricular groove, where they ascend to the superficial subepicardium.

The intracardiac pathways carrying the cardiovascular reflex responses mediated by cardiac sympathetic and vagal afferent fibers were examined in this study.

At the frog semicircular canals, the afferent fibers display high spontaneous activity (mEPSPs), due to transmitter release from hair cells.

We have shown that stimulation of cardiopulmonary sympathetic afferent fibers activates relays in upper cervical segments to suppress activity of lumbosacral spinal cells.

Specifically, it is unlikely that a hepatic portal vein glucose sensor signaling RYGB-induced increased intestinal gluconeogenesis to the brain depends on vagal afferent fibers.

We have begun to identify and characterize the locations and response profiles of vagal afferent fibers sensitive to CCK in the rat upper gastrointestinal tract.
