Summary Introduction
To determine: The two components of the afferent nervous system.
Introduction: Nervous system is the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmit the information to the body parts. The nervous system controls and coordinates the body parts. The system monitors the actions by transmitting signals to and from the body.

Name the afferent process of a neuron.
Two separate post-synaptic interneurons receive synaptic potentials from afferent neurons in the periphery. The dendrites of one these interneurons receive an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP) and an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP) of equal magnitude at the same time. The dendrites of the other interneuron receive one excitatory post-synaptic potential that is the same sized as the EPSP and IPSP received by the other interneuron
Areas of myelinated axons create the appearance of _______ matter, while neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated axons create the appearance of ______ matter.
