Nerve cells that carry impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscles or glands are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals that enable movement and regulate various bodily functions by stimulating muscle contractions or glandular secretions. They play a crucial role in the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, facilitating voluntary and involuntary responses.
Muscles or glands which carry out the responses
Messages from the brain to the muscles and glands in the body begin their journey in the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord. Signals are transmitted through nerves that carry electrical impulses to the target muscles or glands, directing them to perform specific actions or release particular substances.
Connector nerve cells, also known as interneurons, primarily transmit signals within the central nervous system and play a role in processing and relaying information between sensory and motor neurons. They do not directly carry messages to glands and muscles throughout the body. Signals from the brain and spinal cord are transmitted to glands and muscles through motor neurons and other specialized cells.
Effectors are located throughout the body in organs and tissues. They are responsible for producing responses to stimuli from the nervous system, such as muscles contracting or glands secreting hormones. Effector organs include muscles, glands, and other specialized tissues that carry out the body's responses to maintain homeostasis.
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.

Efferent nerves carry signals away from the brain to muscles and glands, enabling movement and other bodily functions. A nerve impulse travels in one direction along these nerves, from the central nervous system to the periphery.
Motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, resulting in a response such as muscle contraction or secretion of a substance. The direction of impulse for motor neurons is typically from the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) to the target muscle or gland.
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.
The main component of the PNS responsible for carrying messages from the CNS to the muscles and glands is the motor neuron. Motor neurons transmit electrical signals from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements and responses.
Motor (efferent) division of PNS carries motor responses from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other organs.Response by the nervous system is accomplished by motor control.Neurons send impulses to the spinal chord and dendrites carry the message to the cell body the axons then sends them awayMotor neuronsefferent neurons
Motor neurons of the efferent division of the peripheral nervous system carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling voluntary and involuntary movements. They are responsible for muscle contractions, gland secretion, and other motor functions.
Messages from the brain to the muscles and glands in the body begin their journey in the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord. Signals are transmitted through nerves that carry electrical impulses to the target muscles or glands, directing them to perform specific actions or release particular substances.
Nerve impulses are transmitted from the receptor to the central nervous system via sensory neurons. In the central nervous system, the impulse is processed and may be relayed to motor neurons that carry the impulse to effectors such as muscles or glands to produce a response. This pathway allows for communication and coordination between different parts of the body.
