Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of neuron transmit messages from the central nervous system to “effectors” such as muscles and glands to initiate a response.
A
Sensory neurons
B
Interneurons
C
Motor neurons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor or efferent neurons transmit impulses from the central nervous system towards the effectors (muscle or glands), while sensory neurons transmit impulses from the sense organs towards the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

Detailed explanation-2: -Efferent, or motor, neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to effector organs such as muscles and glands. Efferent neurons usually have short dendrites and long axons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons bring signals into the CNS, and motor neurons carry signals out of the CNS.

Detailed explanation-4: -Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the effector cells and are sometimes called motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurons transmit information from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands), in order to initiate a response.
