Afferent - Towards (towards the spinal cord) Efferent - Away From (away from the spinal cord) Which nerves are incapable of regeneration? - Neurons in the Central Nervous System (CNS) do not divide and injury causes permanent loss. Which injury to nerves has better outcomes? Crushed or Severed/Cut - Crushed nerves recover better How do peripheral nerves repair themselves? - Axonal Reaction Name 8 local changes that occur when an axon is severed - 1. Cut end retracts and the axolemma cove...
