PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons send impulses from the CNS to the muscle, organ or gland they command to take action. Motor neurons have short dendrites and long axons. Their dendrites and cell body are in the spinal cord and their axons are found in the muscle, organ or gland that they innervate. They can be over one metre long.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland. A relay neuron connects sensory and motor neurons and is found in the brain or spinal cord (see diagrams 14.1 and 14.2).

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Efferent neurons are motor cells that carry information from the brain to effector cells. Efferent pathways carrying messages from the brain to other parts of the body telling them what to do.

Detailed explanation-5: -The neuron which carries nerve impulses from receptors to the spinal cord is sensory neuron and is also called as afferent neuron.
