efferent neuron; efferent nerve; output cell; output neuron
Technical term in neuroscience for a neuron or nerve fiber that carries signals away from the central nervous system toward muscles or glands.
出力細胞は中枢神経系から末梢へ信号を伝える。
Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the periphery.
この実験では、出力細胞の活動を記録した。
In this experiment, we recorded the activity of output cells.
入力細胞 (afferent neuron) carries signals toward the central nervous system, opposite direction of 出力細胞.
運動ニューロン (motor neuron) is a common type of efferent neuron that controls muscle contraction; 出力細胞 is a broader term including all output-signaling neurons.
Compound of 出力 (output) + 細胞 (cell), a straightforward calque from English 'output cell' or 'efferent neuron'.
