Efferent Neuron

Definition: An efferent neuron, also known as a motor neuron, is a type of neuron that carries signals away from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscles, organs, and glands, enabling voluntary and involuntary movements and actions.

Examples:

When you decide to move your hand, efferent neurons transmit signals from your brain to the muscles responsible for hand movement.
The efferent neurons in your spinal cord control the contraction and relaxation of your muscles during physical activities.
Involuntary actions such as breathing and digestion are facilitated by efferent neurons that communicate with various organs and glands.
