The efferent pathway directly sends an impulse to an organ or muscle, causing it to make a response. The receptor detects a stimulus, the afferent pathway carries the signal to the integrating centre (usually the spinal cord or brain), where the information is processed, and a decision is made on how to respond. The efferent pathway carries the response signal from the integrating center to the effector organ or muscle, causing it to make the appropriate response.
