Difference between Afferent and Corticipetal

AFFERENT vs CORTICIPETAL: NOUN

A nerve that passes impulses from receptors toward or to the central nervous system
An afferent structure or connection

Carrying towards.
Bearing or conducting inwards to a part or organ; -- opposed to efferent
Carrying inward to a central organ or section, as nerves that conduct impulses from the periphery of the body to the brain or spinal cord.
Of nerves and nerve impulses; conveying sensory information from the sense organs to the CNS

Of a nerve fiber or impulse originating outside and passing toward the cerebral cortex

Originating in peripheral receptors, afferent pathways reach the brainstem.
Afferent information transmits impulses from receptors to the CNS.
Afferent nerves convey information from sensory organ to CNS.
Sensory afferent inhibition within and between limbs in humans.
Afferent neural pathways in cough and reflex bronchoconstriction.
An obvious afferent pupillary defect is often present.
Ib afferent fibers causes excitation of antagonist muscles.
Afferent vessels carry lymph fluid in what direction?
No relative afferent pupillary defect in either eye.
Inputs (afferent connections) The most important afferent in terms of quantity of axons is the corticostriatal connection.
