Question

Neurons that enable people to throw a baseball by relaying messages from their central nervous system to their skeletal muscles are called

Answer 1

Answer;

-Efferent neurons/motor neurons

Explanation;

-A neuron is a highly specialised cell of the nervous system that has two characteristic properties: irritability (ability to be stimulated) and conductivity (ability to conduct impulses).

-Neurons that receive stimuli from the outside environment and transmit them toward the brain are called afferent or sensory neurons. Those that carry impulses in the opposite direction, away from the brain and other nerve centers to muscles, are called efferent neurons, or motor neurons.

-Efferent neurons are neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the spinal cord to muscles, enabling muscle contraction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Motor neurons or efferent neurons.

Explanation:

Neuron or nerve cell is the excitable cell that can transmit information to other cells via synapse. Three types of neurons on the basis of their function are afferent or sensory neuron, inter neuron and motor neuron or efferent neuron.

Sensory neurons convey information from the receptors to the central nervous system. Inter neurons transmit information between sensory and motor neurons. Motor neurons tranfor information from the central nervous system to the effector organ, muscle or gland. People are able to throw basketball with the help of motor neurons.

Motor neuron transmit information by relaying message from central nervous system to their skeletal muscles.
