controls muscles
Relay messages from the Brain in the CNS down through the Spinal Cord and into the PNS, from there the motor neuron synapses on muscle fibers. i.e. knee jerk reflex & the neuromuscular junction.

Function of interneurons?
communicates between the sensory and motor neurons
What is the Function of upper motor neurons?
Upper motor neurons primarily convey information from your motor cortex to brainstem nuclei (corticobulbar tract) or anterior horn cells in the spinal cord (corticospinal tract). Other tracts exist but are minor or redundant. Upper motor neurons decussate.
What is the main function of a connecting neuron?
To take the signal from the sensory neurons to the motor neurons or other integrative neurons
What is the main function of a motor neuron?
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
What are two parts of the peripheral nervous system?
sensory neurons and motor neurons
What function type are motor neurons?
motor neurons carry message from inter neurons and transmit it to different parts of the body.
What function do the motor neurons play in the nervous system?
Motor neurons send messages from the brain or spinal cord to the body.
Neurons are categorized by?
Structure Unipolar Bipolar Multipolar AND FUNCTION sensory or afferent neurons Motor or efferent neurons
Function of interneurons?
communicates between the sensory and motor neurons
What is. The function of associative neurons?
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
What is the Function of upper motor neurons?

What is the main function of a connecting neuron?
To take the signal from the sensory neurons to the motor neurons or other integrative neurons
A knee-jerk reflex employs motor neurons and what?
it employs sensory and motor neurons
Is ventral root a loss of motor function?
Yes, the ventral root of a spinal nerve is the efferent motor root, consists of axons of motor neurons. It joins the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve, which consists of afferent sensory neurons (from the dorsal root) and efferent motor neurons (from the ventral root). Therefore severing the ventral root will result in a loss of motor function for the myotome supplied by that spinal nerve.
What neurons carry motor impulses?
Motor neurons
What is the largest cranial nerve that receives sensory neurons from the face and sends motor neurons to the chewing muscles making it a mixed nerve?
Trigeminal. Sensory function- touch/temp/pain. Motor function-chewing. Branches-mandibular, maxillary and opthalmic.
What is the function motor neurons?
The function of a motor neuron is to be a path of transport. It is a path that transmits impulses to the effector tissues like muscles and glands from the central nervous system.
