What are the three types of neuron?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Where are somatic neurons located?
in the CNS
What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
What do PNS motor neurons do?
These neurons connect the CNS to various muscles and glands throughout the body.
What are 3 types of neurons?
Sensory neurons: Transmit sensory information from the body to the brain. Motor neurons: Control muscles and glands, enabling movement and bodily functions. Interneurons: Process information within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory and motor neurons.

What are the three broad categories of neurons?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
Which neuron is located entirely within the cns?
interneurons
What neuron conducts impulses away from the CNS to muscles or glands?
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Where are somatic neurons located?
in the CNS
What are inter neurons?
A nerve cell found entirely within the central nervous system that acts as a link between sensory neurons and motor neurons.
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.
What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
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.
Where are somatic motor neurons located?
in the CNS
Where do neurons meet?
they meet in the cns or relay naurone
