Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efferent neurons carry motor impulses from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles) to cause a response, in this case, moving the foot away after someone steps on a toe. Interneurons are responsible for processing information in the central nervous system, and afferent neurons transmit sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Glial cells play a role in supporting and protecting neurons but do not directly transmit impulses.
