Which neurons are tasked with carrying outgoing information from the central nervous system?

Motor neurons are responsible for carrying outgoing information from the central nervous system (CNS) to the muscles and glands in the body. They play a crucial role in the nervous system’s ability to initiate movement and control bodily functions. When the CNS processes information and decides on a response, motor neurons transmit signals that cause muscle contractions or activate glands, thereby enacting the response determined by the brain or spinal cord.

In contrast, sensory neurons carry incoming information from the sensory receptors to the CNS, interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons but do not directly convey information outward, and the term "terminal neurons" is not commonly used to describe a distinct class of neurons in this context. Thus, the defining function of motor neurons makes them the correct answer to this question, as they are specifically associated with the transmission of motor commands from the CNS to effectors in the body.
