Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Motor transmitters that carry impulses from the central nervous system out to the muscles and glands
A
Dendrites
B
efferent nerves
C
afferent nerves
D
neurilemma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The motor (efferent) division carries motor signals by way of efferent nerve fibers from the CNS to effectors (mainly glands and muscles). It can be further subdivided into somatic and visceral divisions. The somatic motor division carries signals to the skeletal muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The data is then processed by way of integration of data, which occurs only in the brain. After the brain has processed the information, impulses are then conducted from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands, which is called motor output.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
