A motor neurone connects the central nervous system (CNS) with an effector, which is to say either a muscle or a gland.

The length of the neurone depends on the size of the animal. In a human, some of the longest neurones extend from the base of the spine to the foot. The longest must be in the largest animals. Think of a giraffe. Not to mention a blue whale!
