Which type of neuron transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Efferent. Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, controlling movement and secretion. Afferent neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, not towards muscles or glands. "Affective" relates to emotions, not neural function. "Effective" does not describe the direction of signal transmission in the nervous system. Therefore, B is the correct choice.
