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.


Which system is associated with transmission of impulse to the muscles?

The Central nervous systme sends impulses to the peripheral nervous system which in turn carries signals to the muscles.


What is the function and organs of the nervous system?

Once this matter is complex and requires a detailed answer, which implies a long writing, I understand that it is more convenient that you visit the link placed right below.However, not to let you without an answer here, these are the major divisions of the vertebrates' nervous system along with its functions.Central Nervous System > Brain and spinal cord / Integrated and control centers.Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) > Central Nerves and spinal nerves/ Communicaton lines between the CNS and the rest of the bodySensory (afferent) division > somatic and visceral sensory nerve fibers / Conducts impulses from receptors to the CNSMotor (efferent) division > motor nerve fibers / Conducts impulses from the CNS to effectors ( muscles and glands)Sympathetic division > Mobilizes body systems during activity (fight or flight)Autonomic nervous system (ANS) > visceral motor (involuntary)/ conducts impulses from the CNS to cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, and glands.Somatic nervous system> Somatic motor ( involuntary)/Conducts impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles


Does the sensory afferent division conveys impulses away from the central nervous system?

No, the sensory afferent division conveys impulses towards the central nervous system. Afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.


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 is the tissue that directs how and when muscles move?

The nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord, directs how and when muscles move through the transmission of electrical signals called nerve impulses. These impulses travel along motor neurons from the central nervous system to the muscles, triggering muscle contraction and movement.


What carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs?

Motor neurons carry instructions from the central nervous system to effector organs. They are a part of the peripheral nervous system and transmit signals to muscles and glands, causing them to contract or secrete in response to stimuli.


Where do motor nerves conduct impulses from?

Motor nerves conduct impulses from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to muscles and glands in order to stimulate movement or secretion.


Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nerous system causing muscle fibers to contract?

The motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles. These impulses may be generated autonomically (instinctively) or through voluntary control by the brain.


Does the axon conduct impulses away from the cell body?

Yes, the axon conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. This process helps in transmitting signals within the nervous system.
