They are called as motor neurons. They are same like sensory neurons. Only difference the direction of the nerve impulse. The nerve impulse travel from dendrites to body to axon to axon terminals.
There are three types of neurons. 1.Sensory neurons: which carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord. 2.Motor neurons : which perform an opposite function to that of sensory neurons by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands. 3. Inter neurons : which connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them.
Motorneurons
Motor Nerves
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.
There are three main types of neurons based on their function: sensory neurons transmit sensory information (e.g., touch, taste) to the brain, motor neurons control muscle movement, and interneurons relay signals between neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons work together to facilitate communication within the nervous system.

First is the neuroglia, function is to support and protect the cells of the nervous system. Second is neurons, which are responsible for conducting nerve impulses from one part of the body to another.
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
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.

Microglia are the glial cells that monitor the health of neurons and can transform into a special type of macrophage to protect endangered neurons.
