Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term efferent is synonymous with motor, as it refers to neurons or nerve fibers that transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, resulting in movement or secretion. The other choices are not synonymous with motor: input refers to the signals that are received by the central nervous system, afferent refers to neurons or nerve fibers that transmit signals from sensory organs to the central nervous system, ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies outside of the central nervous system, and peripheral refers to the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord.
