AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons which carry impulses to muscles or glands from the brain are called motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motor nerves also known as efferent nerves, carry impulses away from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands. Sensory nerves also known as afferent nerves, carry impulses from sensory receptors towards the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer: The type of neuron which carries impulses away from the central nervous system to a muscle or a gland is d. A somatic motor fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vagus nerve (X): A mixed nerve. The sensory fibers of this nerve carry impulses from the pharynx, larynx, and most internal organs to the brain. The motor fibers of this nerve carry impulses to internal organs of the chest and abdomen and to the skeletal muscles of the larynx and pharynx.

Detailed explanation-5: -An interneuron is a neuron that carries nerve impulses from one neuron to another. A motor neuron sends an impulse to a muscle or gland, and the muscle or gland then reacts in response. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon.
