Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body.

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: -Neurons are the nerve cells that transmit impulses.

Detailed explanation-4: -A motor neuron transmits impulses from a central area of the nervous system to an effector, such as a muscle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Afferent neurons in the dorsal roots carry impulses from the body’s sensory receptors to the spinal cord, where the information begins to be processed.
