Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The motor (efferent) division carries motor signals by way of efferent nerve fibers from the CNS to effectors (mainly glands and muscles).
Detailed explanation-2: -Motor neurons consist of a long axon and short dendrites. Motor neurons carry signals from the Central nervous system to effectors. Motor neurons do not carry signals from receptors to the spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-3: -The upper and lower motor neurons form a two-neuron circuit. The upper motor neurons originate in the cerebral cortex and travel down to the brain stem or spinal cord, while the lower motor neurons begin in the spinal cord and go on to innervate muscles and glands throughout the body.
