Motor or efferent neurons transmit signals from the brain to muscle or organ tissues, enabling the coordination of movements and physiological functions.


A collection of nerve fibers that transmit electrical signals from the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, to a muscle, initiating action. A set of muscle fibers activated by one motor nerve fiber is termed a motor unit. This is distinct from a sensory nerve.
