MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent neurons carry information from sensory receptors found all over the body towards the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry motor information away from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body in order to initiate an action.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motor neurons carry signals from the brain and/or the spinal cord to the muscles and glands of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -A motor neuron (or motoneuron or efferent neuron) is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem or the spinal cord, and whose axon (fiber) projects to the spinal cord or outside of the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Motor neurons transmit information from the brain to the muscles of the body. Interneurons are responsible for communicating information between different neurons in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurons are known as multipolar neurons in terms of their structure. This means that they have a single axon and multiple dendrites. Motor neurons are the most common structure for neurons.
