A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.

What is another name for an efferent neuron?

Another name for an efferent neuron is a motor neuron. These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs in the body, enabling them to respond to stimuli.

Yes.


What neurons carry impulses away from the spinal cord and the brain?

the sensory neurons


Are Efferent neurons are the most abundant type of neuron?

Efferent neurons are not the most abundant type of neuron, as interneurons make up the majority of neurons in the central nervous system. Efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to elicit a response.


What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?

The type of neuron that is also known as an interneuron is the associative neuron. Interneurons are responsible for transmitting signals between sensory neurons (afferent neurons) and motor neurons (efferent neurons) in the central nervous system.

What connects to sensory neurons?

You have three neurons in the reflex arc. You have the afferent, the intermediate and efferent neurons in the reflex arc. So the answer is intermediate neuron.
