Final answer:

The Somatic Nervous System transmits motor impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands, being responsible for voluntary muscle movements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The functional division of the nervous system that transmits motor impulses from the Central Nervous System (CNS) to muscles or glands is the Somatic Nervous System (SNS). It is responsible for our conscious perception of the environment and for our voluntary responses to that perception by means of skeletal muscles. The Motor Division of the peripheral nervous system carries messages from the CNS to internal organs and muscles and is further divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
