Unlike this fission bomb, the hydrogen bomb functions by the fusion, or joining together, of lighter elements into heavier elements. The end product again weighs less than its components, the difference once more appearing as energy.
Report Abuse. Afferent pathways send information to your central nervous system (CNS), or peripheral nervous system (PNS). Efferent pathways send signals from those two locations to your muscles. Taste, sight, hearing, etc. are all afferent pathways. A reflex arc, or simply reflex, is then caused by an afferent pathway signaling to the PNS (Spinal cord), which then immediately signals muscles to react.
1 Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the gray matter of the CNS through the nerves of the peripheral nervous system to effector cells. 2  The effector may be smooth, cardiac, or skeletal muscle tissue or glandular tissue. Afferent, Efferent, and Mixed Nerves. 2  Some of the nerves in the body are specialized for carrying information in only one direction, similar to a one-way street. 3  Nerves that carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system only are called afferent nerves.
