transmit impuls from central nervous system to effector
A
sensory neurone
B
motor neurone
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor or efferent neurons transmit impulses from the central nervous system towards the effectors (muscle or glands), while sensory neurons transmit impulses from the sense organs towards the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

Detailed explanation-2: -The afferent division of the peripheral nervous system carries impulses to the CNS; the efferent division carries impulses away from the CNS.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Motor neurons transmit information from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands), in order to initiate a response.
