What is another word for efferent?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛfɹənt] (IPA) 
Efferent is a term used to describe the flow of nerve impulses away from the central nervous system, towards the peripheral nervous system and the organs and muscles. Synonyms for efferent include motor, effluent, outgoing, and centrifugal. The term motor is mostly used in a neurological context to describe efferent nerves that control movement in the body. Effluent is used to describe the movement of fluids out of the body, while outgoing is used to describe the outward movement of anything from a central point. Centrifugal, on the other hand, describes a force acting away from the center, as is the case with efferent impulses.
