What are the nerve cells that carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands?

Motor (efferent) division of PNS carries motor responses from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other organs.
Response by the nervous system is accomplished by motor control.
Neurons send impulses to the spinal chord and dendrites carry the message to the cell body the axons then sends them away
Motor neurons
efferent neurons

What is the difference between motor and sensory neurons?
The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.
What cells in your body send and receive messages?
The basic cells that the body uses for rapid communication and control are neurons. The cells that carry signals to muscles and glands are the motor neurons.
What is inability to sweat caused by?
1. deficiency of sweat glands 2. an abnormality of the nervous pathways from the peripheral or central nervous sytem leading to the sweat glands
Are axons efferent or afferent?
They can be both. Afferent axons carry (sensory) information toward the central nervous system; efferent axons carry (motor command) information away from the central nervous system towards the muscles and glands. Think "affect" vs. "effect" or "arrive" vs. "exit".
What are the subsystems of the autonomic nervous system?
the nerve pathways followed by an impulse during a reflex.
What is integrative?
the nervous system responds by sending signals to muscles, causing them to contract, or to glands, causing them to produce secretions
A nervous system can alter activities in its target cells in muscles and glands because?
the target cells have receptor proteins for the signals released by the nervous system.
What is integrative function?
the nervous system responds by sending signals to muscles, causing them to contract, or to glands, causing them to produce secretions
What carries motor responses from the central nervous system to muscles glands and other organs?
brain stem
What are the function of motor?
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
What are the function of motor neuron?
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
What system controls muscles and regulates body activity?
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
What are the functions of the two divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
What carries messages to your muscles and glands?
Your nervous system carries electric signals from your brain trough out your body.
What sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
What are effectors of the nervous system?
The effectors of the nervous system are muscles and glands. They respond to nervous stimuli.
How are muscles and glands considered in regard to the nervous system?
They are effectors
