Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do Motor Neurons do?
A
Carry electrical pulses from Receptors to the CNS
B
Carry electrical pulses from CNS to Effectors
C
Carry electrical pulses From Sensory Neuron to Motor Neuron Inside the CNS
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. 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-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 carry impulses from the receptors in the sense organs to the CNS, while the association or connection neurons carry impulses from the sensory to the motor neurons. The motor neurons carry impulses from the CNS to the effectors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from sense organs and internal organs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the central nervous system to organs, glands, and muscles-the opposite direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -A motor neuron transmits impulses from a central area of the nervous system to an effector, such as a muscle.
