Efferent vagus nerve

Efferent vagus nerves are the motor neurons that carry signals from the CNS to target organs, particularly the digestive system’s tissues, to cause an effect or action. Unlike the afferent vagus nerve, which carries sensory information from the gut to the brain, the efferent nerve controls digestive functions such as gut motility, secretion, and blood flow (Mikami et al., 2022).
