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.
You are correct; efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain to/and spinal cord throughout the body. Efferent nerves, otherwise known as motor or effector neurons, carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles or glands and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear).The term 'efferent' can also be used in more localized locations (though still in the nervous system). For example, a neuron's efferent synapse provides input to another neuron, and not vice-versa. Vice-versa would be afferent. (see below)The opposite of efferent neurons are afferent, which are neurons that carry impulses from the body back to the brain. An easy mnemonic: Efferent connections Exit. Afferent connections Arrive.Hope this helps!
Smooth muscle is also known as involuntary muscle. The average size of a relaxed smooth muscle cell is 20-500 micrometers.
interneurons are located in the brain and spinal cord. They are stimulated by signals reaching them from sensory neurons. they process that information and send a response through the motor neurons.
Lou Gehrig disease, also known as ameotrophic lateral, is a disorder that damages the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord of human. It is a disease that affects the nerve cells of human.
synaptic cleft (also known as "synaptic gap")
Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent neurons.
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.
Interneurons are neurons found within the central nervous system (primarily the brain or spinal cord) that connect sensory (afferent) neurons to motor (efferent) neurons. Often these neurons are part of a polysynaptic reflex arc.interneurons. They are also called association neurons.
Interneurons(also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) are multipolar neurons that connects sensory neurons to motor neurons.
Motor neurons, also called efferent or effector neurons condust impulses away from the CNS to muscles and glands.Motor neurons tracts (including those from the autonomic nervous system) are called effector pathways. This is because they mediate actions like an increased heart rate or vasoconstriction.
For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.
The neuron is the functional portion of the central nervous system, carrying impulses to the designated location. Neurons also have the role of interpreting an impulse, and waiting for a response. Neurons fall under the category of sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons.
These neurons are classified by the direction in which they send their messages. Afferent neurons are typically sensory neurons--neurons which send information to the brain and spine. They send information about the body and immediate environment. Efferent neurons are typically motor neurons, sending information from the brain and spine to the rest of the body. They allow the main control system a way to act on the body. Another way to distinguish these two is to think of afferent nerves as 'approaching' the brain (A) and efferent nerves as 'exiting' the brain (E). Interneurons are relay neurons and their signals, connecting efferent and afferent neurons in network. They can link up the same types or different types of neurons, meaning connecting sensory neurons together, motor neurons together, or the different types together. The simplest example of these three types working in unison is a reflex arc (which is what is activated when you hurt yourself, like stepping on a pin or burning your hand). The sensory/afferent neuron detects pain and signals the interneuron. Simultaneously, the interneuron sends a signal to your efferent/motor neurons to retract your hand/leg/whatever, while also sending a message to the brain. This is why you pull back before you feel pain :).

Efferent
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
