Yes, efferent refers to the fact that the nerve carries information from your central nervous system out to a muscle. In this case, the muscle being innervated in the tongue.
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.
Yes.
Motor or efferent nerves.
The ventral root of the spinal nerve has the efferent fibers and the dorsal root has the afferent. Prior to joining each other in the spine they each consist of only those fibers.
afferent
The Hypoglossal nerves (XII) carry somatic motor fibers to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. These nerves are mixed, but primarily motor in function. The hypoglossal nerves arise from the Medulla Oblongata.

Neurotransmitters are released from the terminal bouton of the afferent nerve, cross the synaptic cleft, and bind with receptors on the efferent nerve. If enough neurotranmitter binds to reach the minimum potential, an action potential is created and the signal moves down the efferent nerve.
That would be the hypoglossal nerve, which lies medial from the vagus, accessory, glossopharyngeal nerves.
Another name for efferent neurons are motor neurons. They conduct impulses away from the nervous system.

Yes.
efferent nerve
The nerves innervate the quadriceps. The afferent nerves are the muscle spindles and the efferent are the motor neurons.
The trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve, or simply CN V) is a nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing
