Question

Those nerves which carry impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands are known as -

• A. Motor nerves
• B. Sensory nerves
• C. Mixed nerves
• D. Afferent nerves

Answer 1

The correct option is A Motor nerves

Motor neurons (efferent nerves) are responsible for integrating signals from the brain to the muscles, glands, and organs that intend to carry out the required motor function.
A sensory nerve, or afferent nerve carry sensory information toward the central nervous system (CNS) from different sensory receptors of sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system.
Mixed nerves are the nerves that perform both the action of sensory nerves as well as a motor nerve.
