GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors of the skin and other organs to the central nervous system (i.e., brain and spinal cord), whereas efferent neurons carry motor information away from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Dorsal roots contain sensory axons which carry signals into the CNS. Ventral roots contains motor axons which carry signals from CNS-originating neurons to muscles and glands (Figure 17.1).

Detailed explanation-4: -Located in the frontal lobe are the motor cortex and the Broca area. The motor cortex allows for the precise voluntary movements of our skeletal muscles, while the Broca area controls motor functions responsible for producing language.
