|
|
Neurons that transmit nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord to the effector sites

Motor (efferent) neurons
|
|
|
Consists of the brain and spinal cord and serves mainly to interpret information
|
Central Nervous System

|
|
the contraction of a muscle generated by the communication between the nervous system and muscular system
|
neural activation
