____ carries information to an effector
A
Receptor
B
Sensory neuron
C
Effector
D
Motor neuron
E
Interneuron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory cells carry input from the receptor (afferent impulses) to a central interneuron, which makes contact with a motor neuron. The motor neuron carries efferent impulses to the effector, which produces the response.

Detailed explanation-2: -The motor neurons carry impulses from the CNS to the effectors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motor neurons These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Efferent neurons, also called motor neurons, are the nerve fibers responsible for carrying signals from the brain to the peripheral nervous system in order to initiate an action. In other words, they are the neurons that tell your body to perform an action, such as removing your hand from a hot pan.

Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurone sends impulses to effector. Effector produces a response (muscle contracts to move hand away).
