Efferent

Part of the peripheral nervous system. The efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, relay outgoing information from the central nervous system to the muscle cells.

Carrying from, afferent neurons, efferent nerves.

Carrying something away from part of the body or from the centre.

Carrying outward, away from the center, as a nerve carrying impulses from the brain to a muscle, gland, or other effector organ, or as a vessel (e.g., a blood or lymphatic vessel) carrying fluid (e.g., blood, lymph) away from an organ or part.

Designating nerves or neurons that convey impulses from the brain or spinal cord to muscles, glands, and other effectors; i.e. any motor nerve or neuron.

The term applied to vessels which convey away blood or a secretion from a body part, or to nerves which carry nerve impulses outwards from the nerve-centres.

Carrying away from a central organ or section, as efferent nerves, which conduct impulses from the brain or spinal cord to the periphery; efferent lymph vessels, which convey lymph from lymph nodes; and efferent arterioles, which carry blood from glomeruli of the kidney. Opposite of afferent.

Neural pathways that send signals from the brain to the periphery.

Nerve fiber carrying information away from the central nervous system.

This term pertains to the peripheral nerves responsible for transmitting signals away from the brain and spinal cord. These nerves perform essential functions related to motor control and the autonomic nervous system.
