Question

a type of neuron that sends information away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands

Answer 1

The type of neuron that sends information away from the central nervous system (CNS) to muscles or glands is called an **efferent neuron** or **motor neuron**. Efferent neurons transmit signals from the CNS to effectors, which include muscles (to trigger movement) and glands (to secrete hormones or other substances).
