It is a long process extending far from the nerve cell body that carries an action potential from the sensory neuron toward the central nervous system (CNS). Bundles of these axons form a nerve known as an afferent nerve, or sensory nerve . </P> <P> The opposite direction of neural activity is efferent conduction . The efferent nerve fiber is the axon of a motor neuron . Bundles of these axons form a motor nerve, or efferent nerve . </P>
