Efferent Pathway

An efferent pathway is a route in the nervous system that carries signals from the brain or spinal cord to muscles or glands. Think of it as a highway that transmits instructions from your central nervous system to initiate actions like moving a limb or secreting saliva. These pathways are part of the motor nervous system and are essential for voluntary movements and bodily functions. They ensure that your brain’s commands reach the appropriate muscles or organs to produce a response.
