Which type of neuron conveys messages from your brain and spinal chord to muscles for movement?
The correct answer is "motor neuron".
A motor neuron is a type of neuron that transmits signals from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to muscles, causing them to contract and produce movement. Motor neurons are also known as efferent neurons because they carry signals away from the central nervous system.
There are two types of motor neurons:
* Upper motor neurons originate in the brain and send signals to lower motor neurons in the spinal cord.
* Lower motor neurons originate in the spinal cord and send signals to muscles.
Motor neurons are essential for movement. Without them, we would not be able to control our muscles or move our bodies.
