Motor Neurons are Also Called

Question

Motor neurons are also called
A) interneurons
B) efferent neurons
C) afferent neurons
D) glia cells

Accepted Answer

Motor neurons are a type of efferent neuron, which carry signals from the central nervous system to effector cells, such as muscle cells or glands. Interneurons are neurons that form connections between other neurons in the central nervous system, while afferent neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Glia cells are support cells in the nervous system that provide various functions, but are not neurons.
