As an afferent neuron, your path is strictly "inward-bound" toward the (the brain and spinal cord). You are structured perfectly for this:
You reach the gates of the spinal cord (the "dorsal horn") and release chemical messengers called across a tiny gap known as a synapse . You've done your part. You have successfully informed the brain that something is dangerously hot.
: This is your high-speed highway. The electrical pulse zips down this long fiber at incredible speeds.
