The sensory (or afferent) neuron carries messages to the brain and then the motor (or efferent) neuron carries the reaction message from the brain to the gland or muscle being effected in response. :)

What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.
What are the different types of nerves cells or neurons differentiate the types based on function?
There are 3 different types of neurons , 1 : sensory for conduction of impulses to CNS , 2 : Inter neuron for integration and 3 : motor for conduction of impulses from CNS to body .
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Similarities of motor and sensory neurons?
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.

What carries impulses toward the neuron cell body?
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
Why are motor neurons also known as efferent neurons?
efferent neurons are just another name for motor neurons, indicating that they carry impulses from the brain (CNS) to the target cell. Similarly, the term 'afferent''can be used interchangeably with sensory as it describes the action of a neuron carrying impulses from the stimulis (which could either be internal or external) to the CNS.
When a group of neurons that carry impulses from the CNS to effectors are clustered together they are called what?
Motor neurons.
What is the similarities of neurons and motor neurons?
Functionally, neurons come in three varieties; motor neurons, sensory neurons and interneurons. Motor neurons conduct motor impulses from the CNS to the muscles. Sensory neurons conduct motor impulses from the rest of the body to the CNS. Interneurons connect the sensory to the motor so we can respond to incoming sensory stimuli.

What type of neuron carries information to the CNS?
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
What Nerve to the brain triggers pain?
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).
