Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor neurons are responsible for sending signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands to produce movement. They do not respond to sensory information, which is processed by sensory neurons. Option A is incorrect as mirror neurons are a specific type of neuron that fire both when an individual performs an action and when they observe someone else performing the same action. Option B is also incorrect as glial cells are the structural support cells of the nervous system, not motor neurons. Option D is incorrect as motor neurons are specifically activated when a human performs an action.
