How can you use “afferents” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The group II non-spindle muscle afferents have increased discharge rates with increasing fatigue, also contributing to the inhibitory effect.
These afferents enter the spinal cord through the thoracic dorsal spinal roots and provide essential information to the central nervous system on intercostal muscle mechanics.
These afferents transduce the intercostal muscle mechanical events into a neural code that projects to the central nervous system.
Intercostal afferents have been shown to alter inspiratory muscle motor activity [ 4 5 6 7 ] . The activity of respiratory muscle afferents provides essential muscle mechanical information during ventilation [ 3 ] . This is supported by previous reports that have shown these receptors to be sensitive to changes in muscle length and stretch velocity and are active during spontaneous breathing [ 1 2 3 8 ] .
Those afferents that exhibited a pause in discharge frequency as the extrafusal fibers contracted ("silent period") were classified as muscle spindles [ 24 25 ] . Primary muscle spindles were differentiated from secondary muscle spindles with the satisfaction of at least two out of three criteria tested on every afferent: 1) a conduction velocity > 75 m/sec; 2) an increase in discharge frequency at 100 μm displacement reflecting a low stretch threshold; 3) an abrupt decrease in frequency discharge at the end of stretch that returned to L init static discharge levels.
