Answer 1

Nerve cells that relay signals from the Central Nervous System (CNS) to the different parts of the body are called Motor Neurons.

• Motor neurons transmit signals from the brain through spine to the effector cells which are present in the muscles.

• The upper motor neurons carry the signals from the spine to the motor neurons present in the lower parts of the body.
• The lower motor neurons also called efferent neurons.
• They extend into limbs that are used in locomotion and intercostal and abdominal muscles.
• Voluntary functions require motor neurons.
