Sensory/ Afferent
Division
Consists of nerve fibers that convey
impulses to the CNS from sensory receptors
located in various parts of the body.
Sensory fibers that deliver impulses from the
skin, skeletal muscles, and joints are called
somatic (soma = body) sensory fibers.
Sensory fibers that transmit impulses from the
visceral organs are called visceral sensory
fibers, or visceral afferents.
The sensory division keeps the CNS constantly
informed of events going on both inside and
outside the body.
