| afferent | <anatomy> Moving or carrying inward or toward a central part. Refers to vessels, nerves, etc. For example: blood vessels carrying blood toward the heart, or nerves conducting signals to the brain. Compare: efferent. (09 Feb 1998) |
| afferent fibres | Those that convey impulses to a ganglion or to a nerve centre in the brain or spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| afferent loop syndrome | <syndrome> A complication of gastrojejunostomy, caused by acute or chronic obstruction of the afferent loop due to hernia, intussusception, kinking, volvulus, etc. It is characterised by pain and vomiting of bile-stained fluid and includes acute afferent loop obstruction and bilious vomiting. (12 Dec 1998) |
| afferent lymphatic | A lymphatic vessel entering, or bringing lymph to, a node. Synonym: vas lymphaticum afferens, afferent vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| afferent nerve | <anatomy, physiology> A nerve which transmits impulses from the tissues to the brain and spinal cord (for example sensory nerve). (27 Sep 1997) |
| afferent pathways | Nerve structures through which impulses are conducted from a peripheral part toward a nerve centre. (12 Dec 1998) |
| afferent vessel | A vessel carrying blood toward the heart. A vein or venule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| general somatic afferent column | In the embryo, a column of gray matter in the hindbrain and spinal cord, represented in the adult by the sensory nuclei of the trigeminal nerve and relay cells in the dorsal horn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| general visceral afferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain and spinal cord of the embryo, developing into the nucleus of the solitary tract and relay cells of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
