Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ fibers carry motor impulses from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles and glands
A
intrinsic
B
afferent
C
efferent
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent, or sensory, neurons carry impulses from peripheral sense receptors to the CNS. They usually have long dendrites and relatively short axons. 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: -The correct option is B True Efferent nerve fibres conduct nerve impulses from the CNS to the effector organs such as muscles and glands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Afferent nerves carry signals to the spinal cord and brain as sensory data. Alternatively, nerve fibers that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called afferent, or motor.

Detailed explanation-4: -The efferent or motor division transmits impulses from the CNS out to the peripheral organs to cause an effect or action.
