Efferent nerves are responsible for carrying motor commands from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.
There are two main types of efferent nerves: somatic and autonomic.
Somatic efferent nerves control voluntary movements, while autonomic efferent nerves control involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion.
The sympathetic nervous system is a branch of the autonomic nervous system that prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses.
