Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,
1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.
2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.
3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.
Neurons are not classified structurally based on their size, shape, or the length of their axons; these factors are more related to their functional classifications. Additionally, classifications based on the specific neurotransmitters they release, or their roles in different neural circuits, do not fall under structural classifications. Instead, structural classifications typically focus on the number of processes extending from the cell body, such as unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar neurons.

The functional component of the nervous system responsible for transmitting signals and coordinating bodily functions is the neurons. Neurons are specialized cells that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals, allowing for the transmission of information throughout the body.

The main types of cells in the brain are neurons, which transmit information, and glial cells, which support and protect neurons. Neurons are further classified into various types based on their structure and function, such as sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.
No. The functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Neurons group together to form nerves.
(Apex Learning) How power is transferred.
Synapses play a critical role as functional junctions between neurons. These specialized connections allow for communication by transmitting signals between neurons through chemical or electrical signaling. The strength and efficiency of synapses can be adjusted in response to learning and experience, influencing overall brain function.
