Detailed explanation-1: -Motor nerves also known as efferent nerves, carry impulses away from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands.
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: -Afferent nerve fibres conduct nerve impulses from the sensory organs to the CNS. Hence, it is also known as sensory nerve fibre.
Detailed explanation-4: -Efferent, or motor, nerve fibres carry impulses away from the central nervous system; afferent, or sensory, fibres carry impulses toward the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-5: -Motor, or efferent neurons transmit information away from the CNS toward some type of effector. Motor neurons are typically multipolar. Interneurons are located between motor and sensory pathways and are highly involved in signal integration.
