The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".

Yes, the ventral root of a spinal nerve is the efferent motor root, consists of axons of motor neurons. It joins the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve, which consists of afferent sensory neurons (from the dorsal root) and efferent motor neurons (from the ventral root). Therefore severing the ventral root will result in a loss of motor function for the myotome supplied by that spinal nerve.
motor neuron and sensory neuron
Spinal nerves are said to be mixes because their posterior roots contain sensory axons and their anterior roots contain motor axons.
Ultimately a motor neuron is involved in the pathway of sending information from your brain to your muscles, thus allowing your brain to control the movements of your body. As an analogy, think of your computer and the printer to which it is attached. The computer is your brain, the printer is the muscle that needs to perform an action, and the cable connecting the two is the motor neuron.A neuron is a cell in the central nervous system that has a cell body and a very long extension called an axon. There are two levels of motor neurons in your body, the upper motor neuron and the lower motor neuron. The upper motor neurons originate from the cortex of the brain and project their axons down to the spinal cord to terminate in the ventral horns of the spinal cord. The ventral horn in the spinal cord is a column of grey matter located towards the front (or the ventral side) in the spinal cord. In the ventral horn of the spinal cord, the axons of the upper motor neurons synapse with lower motor neurons, whose cell bodies are located in the ventral horn. The lower motor neurons then have axons that exit the spinal cord and leave through nerve roots, to the peripheral nerves of your body, and eventually to the muscles that control your movement. Some of the lower motor neurons that control facial movement are located in the brainstem and not the spinal cord.Motor neurons can also be classified functionally by what they do, i.e. general somatic efferent neurons, general visceral efferent motor neurons, or special visceral efferent motor neurons.This can get much more complicated when we take into account the amount of descending input from the brain, brainstem, and cerebellum; and the integration that occurs at the level of the lower motor neuron cell body. Most simplistically, the function of the motor neuron is to transmit the message from the brain to the muscle.Diseases of motor neurons, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy, can be very serious and currently have no cure.
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
The motor neuron cells are all in the brain and the spinal cord.
