Efferent Neuron
Nerve
Motor neurons
axon
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
1. The receptor reacts to a stimulus. 2. The sensory neuron conducts the afferent impulses to the CNS. 3. The integration center consists of one or more synapses in the CNS. 4. The motor neuron conducts the efferent impulses from the integration center to an effector. 5. The effector, muscle fibers or glands, respond to the efferent impulses by contraction or secretion a product, respectively.
motor nuerons
An Axon, otherwise known as a nerve fiber, is designed to carry electrical impulses away from the neuron. This is important for carrying information around the body, to and from the brain, muscles, and glands.

muscles
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
Efferent neuron
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
