"A neuron in the aorta detects oxygen content in the blood and relays this information to the brain. This neuron is an afferent fiber in the peripheral nervous system."

A branch of the vagus nerve is the aortic nerve. It provides peripheral baroreceptors and chemoreceptors located in the aortic arch with autonomic afferent nerve fibers. "The tenth cranial nerve is the vagus nerve." Except for the first and the second cranial nerve which is the part of the central nervous system the rest of the cranial nerves are a part of the peripheral nervous system.

Since this nerve fiber detects the oxygen content in the blood and relays this information to the brain it serves a sensory function. These nerves are known as the afferent nerves that transmit the impulse towards the information processing center.

Why are there fewer organisms in each level as you go up the energy pyramid ​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation: The energy pyramid describes how energy gets distributed through an ecosystem. The more there is of an organism on the energy pyramid, the more it gives overall to the ecosystem. The less there is of an organism, the less it gives to the ecosystem. Take the Floridian Everglades as an example. There is an abundance of sawgrass, and that makes up the foundation of the system, along with mangroves and such. But there are less of predators in the ecosystem because they only feed of of their prey like small mammals or fish. They never start the food chain, they end it.
