Talk:Efferent nerve fiber

In the illustration shouldn't it be changed from PNS to CNS? "In the peripheral nervous system, afferent and efferent projections are always from the perspective of the spinal cord" to "In the central nervous system, afferent and efferent projections are always from the perspective of the spinal cord". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pawpawseed66 (talk • contribs) 22:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Overview
There are two mnemonics given, in different sections, with no particular link. That's not good. —DIV (1.145.74.111 (talk) 04:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC))

1st mnemonic

 * In the context of a given brain region, afferents are arriving fibers while efferents are exiting fibers.

This is pure alliteration. OK. —DIV (1.145.74.111 (talk) 04:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC))

2nd mnemonic
The article claims:
 * Ad and ex give an easy mnemonic device for remembering the relationship between afferent and efferent: afferent connection arrives and an efferent connection exits.

What a nonsense! "Ad" is a distraction in that supposed mnemonic, rather than a cue. Yes, if you're a linguist, knowing the etymology will explain the meaning, but that's nothing to do with a mnemonic!

"A&E" (British English abbreviation for Accident & Emergency) would make more sense. But really the mnemonic is simply in the alliteration: Afferent connection Arrives; Efferent connection Exits. Of course, one still has to understand where the arriving/exiting is taking place!
