Type of neuron that sends nerve impulses to organs, muscles and glands.
A
Motor Neurons
B
Interneurons
C
Sensory Neurons
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Nerves have cells called neurons. Neurons carry messages from the brain via the spinal cord. The neurons that carry these messages to the muscles are called motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reason: Motor neurons conduct nerve impulses from effector organs to the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interneurons are the most common type of neuron. They send information between sensory neurons and motor neurons, often forming complex circuits to help you react to external stimuli (like signaling to pull your hand away after touching a hot stove).
