Motor neurons are the neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelial tissue. These types of nerves are what make up the Autonomic nervous system, which regulates the bodies involuntary functions.
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.
Nerve cells, or neurons, conduct impulses from the brain through their axons. These long, slender projections transmit electrical signals, known as action potentials, to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands. This communication is essential for coordinating bodily functions and responses. Additionally, myelin sheaths surrounding some axons enhance the speed of these impulses.
Interneurons
Neurons that carry impulses are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, directing them to take action in response to stimuli.
Impulses from the brain go mostly through the channels in the spinal cord and control most everything that goes on in the body. It is a two way street with information generated chemicals being carried throughout the body.The brain uses neurons to decide what information is acted upon.

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.
motor neurons
afferent neurons
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.
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.
