Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons (also referred to as efferent neurons) are the nerve cells responsible for carrying signals away from the central nervous system towards muscles to cause movement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the effector cells (e.g. motor neurons).
Detailed explanation-3: -The spinal cord is a vital aspect of the CNS found within the vertebral column. The purpose of the spinal cord is to send motor commands from the brain to the peripheral body as well as to relay sensory information from the sensory organs to the brain.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
