Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do the motor neurons do?
A
carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands
B
carry impulses from skin and sends to organs the to spinal cord and brain
C
carry impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons
D
store messages
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your nervous system uses specialized cells called neurons to send signals, or messages, all over your body. These electrical signals travel between your brain, skin, organs, glands and muscles.

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 information from the sense organs (such as the eyes and ears) to the brain. Motor neurons control voluntary muscle activity such as speaking and carry messages from nerve cells in the brain to the muscles. All the other neurons are called interneurons.
