Afferent Signaling

Afferent signaling refers to transmitting sensory information from the body’s organs (such as the gut, heart, and liver) to the brain and spinal cord. This type of signaling is also known as sensory signaling, as it allows the nervous system to detect and respond to environmental changes.
