Solution

The second neurons in the efferent motor pathway, also known as lower motor neurons, have axons that can synapse to:

  1. Skeletal muscles: These neurons can synapse with skeletal muscles to control voluntary movements.

  2. Gland cells: Although the efferent motor pathway primarily controls muscle movements, it can also influence gland cells indirectly. However, this is typically through the autonomic nervous system, not the somatic motor system.

  3. Cardiac muscles: The efferent motor pathway does not directly control cardiac muscles. The autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, control the heart rate.

  4. Smooth muscles: Similar to cardiac muscles, smooth muscles are primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, not the efferent motor pathway.

So, the correct answer is Skeletal muscles.
