Efferent Neurons: How Nerve Impulses Reach Muscles & Glands

The correct answer is : Efferent neurons

The spinal cord is a long, cylindrical bundle of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lower back. It is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the brain to the rest of the body, and vice versa.

Efferent neurons are the neurons that transmit nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the muscles and glands of the body. They are also known as motor neurons.
