A neuron is what your nervous tissue is made of. It transmits information in the form of electro-chemical changes, which are called nerve impulses.
=== All neurons have three main parts: 1. a cell body which contains a nucleus. 2. dendrites, which are extensions off of the cell body that receive the signals. They are hair-like structures. and 3. An axon, which is what sends out the neuron's signals. It is also an extension from the cell body, but a larger one than the dendrites. It is encased in a faty sheath and there is only one of these per neuron.

Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
Specialized cell that makes up the nervous system?
The cells that makes up the nervous system is the Inter-neuron (circuit neuron), sensory neuron and motor neuron.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
