Solution

The correct option is A

Motor


The correct option is option A.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. The nerves that transmit signals from the brain to muscle or organ tissue are known as motor or efferent nerve cells.
  2. The neuron, which consists of a cyton, dendrite, and axon, is a structural and functional unit in the nervous system of animals.
  3. The cyton, also known as the cell body of neurons, is the primary component of the neuron and transmits electrical impulses from the dendrites to the axon.
  4. Since a reflex action is an automatic, involuntary activity that does not involve the brain, the reflex cyton in the central nervous system and the autonomous nervous system is the motor as there is no involvement of the brain.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option (B):

  1. The term "mixed nerves" refers to nerves that have the ability to function as both motor and sensory nerves.
  2. They transform electrical impulses from the central nervous system to the body's muscles.
  3. Cyton is motor in nature because it transmits electrical impulses from the dendrites to the axon and there is no involvement of brain.

Option (C):

  1. Sensory refers to the way in which the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system receive impulses from the receptors of sensory organs.
  2. Cyton transmits an impulse from dendrites to the axon and not from receptors of sensory organs.

Final answer: The cyton of reflex in the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system is motor .
