efferent impulse

An efferent impulse is a biological signal that travels outward from a central point, such as the brain or spinal cord, to a peripheral organ or tissue. In the context of the nervous system, efferent neurons transmit signals away from the central nervous system to effectors, which are muscles or glands that produce a response. This is in contrast to afferent impulses, which carry sensory information toward the central nervous system. Efferent fibers can be categorized as general somatic efferent, which control skeletal muscles, or general visceral efferent, which regulate internal organs like smooth muscle and glands.123
