Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to effectors such as muscles or glands. Their cell bodies are located in the CNS, but their axons extend to the effector organs. The terminal arborization is the end of the axon, where it forms multiple branches and synapses with the target cells. Therefore, the cell body of a motor neuron does not participate in impulse conduction but rather serves mainly for metabolic and synthetic functions.
