What is a neuron connecting sensory and motor neurons?
Associated Neurons a.k.a Interneurons, lie between motor and sensory neurons in neutral pathways where intergeneration occurs. Most interneurons are confined within the CNS.
Is the sensory neuron multipolar?
No, they (sensory neurons) are either pseudounipolar or bipolar.To memorize, remember the word "M" for Multi-unipolar, and "M" for "Motor" (fibres).
Are all the efferent neurons motor all the afferent neurons sensory and all the CNS neurons inter neurons?
Yes. However, it is better put that most of the interneurons are found in the part of the CNS called the spinal cord.
The most type of neuron in the human body is?
Multipolar neurons This is the most common type of neuron, with one axon and many dendrites. Multipolar neurons are so-named because they have many (multi-) processes that extend from the cell body: lots of dendrites plus a single axon. Functionally, these neurons are either motor (conducting impulses that will cause activity such as the contraction of muscles) or association (conducting impulses and permitting 'communication' between neurons within the central nervous system).
Do Most neurons have many axons?
One
What do the lower neurons do?
You are probably speaking of "lower motor neurons." These are neurons that send information from the spinal cord to the muscles of the body & they travel within all most of the nerves of the body (like sciatic, median, etc). These neurons are controlled by "upper motor neurons" and control your muscles to allow you to be able to move.
What does motor nuerons do?
Ultimately a motor neuron is involved in the pathway of sending information from your brain to your muscles, thus allowing your brain to control the movements of your body. As an analogy, think of your computer and the printer to which it is attached. The computer is your brain, the printer is the muscle that needs to perform an action, and the cable connecting the two is the motor neuron.A neuron is a cell in the central nervous system that has a cell body and a very long extension called an axon. There are two levels of motor neurons in your body, the upper motor neuron and the lower motor neuron. The upper motor neurons originate from the cortex of the brain and project their axons down to the spinal cord to terminate in the ventral horns of the spinal cord. The ventral horn in the spinal cord is a column of grey matter located towards the front (or the ventral side) in the spinal cord. In the ventral horn of the spinal cord, the axons of the upper motor neurons synapse with lower motor neurons, whose cell bodies are located in the ventral horn. The lower motor neurons then have axons that exit the spinal cord and leave through nerve roots, to the peripheral nerves of your body, and eventually to the muscles that control your movement. Some of the lower motor neurons that control facial movement are located in the brainstem and not the spinal cord.Motor neurons can also be classified functionally by what they do, i.e. general somatic efferent neurons, general visceral efferent motor neurons, or special visceral efferent motor neurons.This can get much more complicated when we take into account the amount of descending input from the brain, brainstem, and cerebellum; and the integration that occurs at the level of the lower motor neuron cell body. Most simplistically, the function of the motor neuron is to transmit the message from the brain to the muscle.Diseases of motor neurons, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal muscular atrophy, can be very serious and currently have no cure.

Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Nerves that only carry impulses away from the central nervous system (CNS) are called:Motor Nerves
Most sensory neurons synapse in spinal cord, allows faster actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay and form?
Parasympathetic nervous system
What are the cells involved in most nervous system tumors?
the cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called
What neurons carry impulses from the brain or spinal cord to other organs and cause muscles to contract?
Impulses from the brain go mostly through the channels in the spinal cord and control most everything that goes on in the body. It is a two way street with information generated chemicals being carried throughout the body.The brain uses neurons to decide what information is acted upon.
Where are most neurons in the human body located?
It is said that central nervous system and enteric nervous system contain 1 billion neurons each.
Where are neurons located in the body?
In the head and spinal cord mostly all over but most of them are in your head.
