Sensory neurons relay information from sense organs, motor neurons carry impulses to muscles and glands, and inter-neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor neurons. A typical neuron consists of dendrites (fibres that receive stimuli and conduct them inward), a cell body (a nucleated body that receives input from dendrites), and an axon (a fibre that conducts the nerve impulse from the cell body outward to the axon terminals). Both axons and dendrites may be referred to as nerve fibres. Impulses are relayed by neurotransmitter chemicals released by the axon terminals across the synapses (junctions between neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell, such as a muscle cell) or, in some cases, pass directly from one neuron to the next. Large axons are insulated by a myelin sheath formed by fatty cells called Schwann cells. Bundles of fibres from neurons held together by connective tissue form nerves.

The function of a neuron is to transfer messages throughout the brain. These neurons are all attached and interpret everything that happens.
A neuron is the basic unit of structure and function in the nervous system. The neurons function is to conduct electrochemical impulses.
neurons are the function units of the nervous system. they transmit signals from one cell to another via electrical excitability. essentially they transmit nerve impulses.
neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system . Neuron carry messages in the form of electro-chemical waves called nerve impulses .
No, the association neurons connect other neurons.

Giant multipolar neurons are neurons that have three of more processes attached to their cell bodies. A majority of multipolar neurons are involved in movement.

To transmit a signal between neurons.
The sensory neurons in our body have different shapes but most are unipolar-shaped. Neurons can either be unipolar-, bipolar- or multiparty-shaped depending on their function.
