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.

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.


Do motor neurons send impulses to muscles or glands?

Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.


What is Neurons that convey impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands are what?

Interneurons


What are neurons that carry impulses?

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.


What neurons carry impulses from the brain or spinal cord to other organs and cause muscles to contract?

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.


Impulses from motor neurons control the contraction of skeletal muscles?

false


What is the similarities of neurons and motor neurons?

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


Nerve impulses travel to the muscles from the spinal cord through?

afferent neurons


Similarities of motor and sensory neurons?

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


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.


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