The somatic nervous system contains efferent nerves, such as the motor neurons that control voluntary movement of muscles. For example, the efferent nerves that innervate the skeletal muscles in your arms to produce movement when you reach for something are part of the somatic efferent nerves.
What else can I help you with?
What is efferent give example?
Efferent refers to nerves that carry signals away from the central nervous system to the body parts, such as motor neurons that control muscle movement. An example of an efferent nerve is the sciatic nerve, which carries signals from the spinal cord to the leg muscles for movement.
What nerve carries impulses away from the brain?
The efferent nerves, also known as motor nerves, carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to control muscles and glands in the body.
What branch of a nerve carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
Why are some nerves called afferent nerves and others are called efferent nerves- how do they differ in function?
Afferent nerves are those that send impulses from the PNS to the CNS. Efferent nerves send impulses from the CNS to the PNS. So the first goes toward the Central Nervous System and the second goes away from it.
What are the two channels which relay the messages to and from the brain and to the body parts that will do the action?
These "channels " are actually nerves termed as Afferent and Efferent nerves usually called motor and sensory nerves.
Are sensory nerves efferent nerves?
Yes they are!
What are sensory and motor nervers called?
Sensory nerves are called afferent nerves, and motor nerves are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, while efferent nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to initiate a response.
What is efferent give example?
Efferent refers to nerves that carry signals away from the central nervous system to the body parts, such as motor neurons that control muscle movement. An example of an efferent nerve is the sciatic nerve, which carries signals from the spinal cord to the leg muscles for movement.
What is efferent nerves?
Efferent nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, enabling motor functions. They are responsible for transmitting commands for movement and secretion of hormones or other substances in the body.
What is another name for motor nerves?
efferent nerve
What nerve carries impulses away from the brain?
The efferent nerves, also known as motor nerves, carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to control muscles and glands in the body.
What nerve is carrying the afferent and efferent impulses during the patellar reflex?
The nerves innervate the quadriceps. The afferent nerves are the muscle spindles and the efferent are the motor neurons.
Name the 3 types of nerves?
Afferent, efferent, and interneurons.
What Efferent nerves carry impulses primarily to the muscles and what?
glands
What are the Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system called?
efferent nerve
What branch of a nerve carries a message to the brain from a muscle?
afferent
Which kind of nerves sent the signals from your brain to initiate your physical movements?
efferent
