Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent neurons.

What structural classification describes this neuron?

Usually by size and the type of neurotransmistter it produces. Electrophysiologists also classify neurons by their firing ratesThis is an addition to the above-mentioned answer. To be more specific, we can classify neurons based on their structural or functional properties.1) Structural classification :based on polarity = unipolar + pseudounipolar + bipolar, + multipolar (Golgi 1, Golgi 2)based on their unique features (distinct shapes and locations) = basket cells + betz cells + medium spiny neurons + purkinje cells + pyramidal cells + Renshaw cells + granule cells + anterior horn cells2) Functional classification :based on directions = afferent + efferent + interneuronsbased on their actions on other neurons = excitatory (they increase firing rate) + inhibitory(they decrease firing rate) + modulatory (doesn't really related to firing rate, but they cause long-lasting effects)based on their discharging patterns = tonic or regular spiking + phasic or bursting + fast spikingbased on neurotransmitters they produced = cholinergic + GABAergic + glutamatergic + dopaminergic + serotonergic
