    Question

    What is the nerve cell that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles?

    A.

    Celia

    B.

    Afferent neuron

    C.

    Dendrite

    D.

    Efferent neuron

    Correct option is D


    Ans (d)
    Sol. Explanation:
    · Efferent neurons (also known as motor neurons) carry impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to the muscles and glands. They are responsible for motor functions, such as muscle contraction.
    · Afferent neurons (sensory neurons) carry impulses from sensory receptors (like the skin or eyes) to the CNS, allowing the brain to receive information from the body.
    · Dendrites are part of a neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons, but they do not convey impulses to muscles.
    · Celia seems to be a typo and does not relate to a type of neuron; cilia are hair-like structures on cells that help with movement and sensory functions but are not related to neural impulse transmission.
