When they are connected together they are called nerve.
Afferent neurons
Not all efferent neurons are motor; some can be autonomic (meaning they control involuntary functions). Similarly, not all afferent neurons are sensory; some can be visceral (relaying information from internal organs). CNS neurons can include interneurons that integrate and transmit signals between sensory and motor neurons, but not all CNS neurons are interneurons, as there are also sensory and motor neurons found within the CNS.
A somatic system
The motor neuron is the final common pathway for all neurons to travel to complete their synapse. Afferent neurons or unipolar neurons all pass through the cord and brain on this journey.
They are neurons that can be found in all six of cortical layers (except layer 1), and they are excitatory projection neurons.
All three types of neurons (sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons) have a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. They are all involved in transmitting signals within the nervous system, with sensory neurons responsible for conveying sensory information to the brain, motor neurons for transmitting signals from the brain to muscles and glands, and interneurons for connecting other neurons within the central nervous system.
A neuron is a type of cell, but not all cells are neurons.(Just like a Dalmatian is a type of dog, but not all dogs are Dalmatians.)Neurons are mostly found in the brain and spinal column.
Efferent neurons are not the most abundant type of neuron, as interneurons make up the majority of neurons in the central nervous system. Efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to elicit a response.
Motor neurons manufacture neurotransmitters, specifically acetylcholine, which is responsible for transmitting signals from the neurons to muscles, enabling movement.
Usually, but mutations could affect the number of neurons.
