What is the flow of information in a spinal reflex arc in the correct order?
The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".
What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.
What function type are motor neurons?
Motor neurons are considered efferent neurons, which means they transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands to produce a response. They are responsible for initiating and controlling muscle contractions and movements.
What is another name for an inter-neuron?
Another name for an inter-neuron is a "relay neuron." These neurons receive signals from sensory neurons and transmit them to motor neurons or other interneurons to coordinate a response in the central nervous system.
What are afferent and efferent neurons and inter neurons?
These neurons are classified by the direction in which they send their messages. Afferent neurons are typically sensory neurons--neurons which send information to the brain and spine. They send information about the body and immediate environment. Efferent neurons are typically motor neurons, sending information from the brain and spine to the rest of the body. They allow the main control system a way to act on the body. Another way to distinguish these two is to think of afferent nerves as 'approaching' the brain (A) and efferent nerves as 'exiting' the brain (E). Interneurons are relay neurons and their signals, connecting efferent and afferent neurons in network. They can link up the same types or different types of neurons, meaning connecting sensory neurons together, motor neurons together, or the different types together. The simplest example of these three types working in unison is a reflex arc (which is what is activated when you hurt yourself, like stepping on a pin or burning your hand). The sensory/afferent neuron detects pain and signals the interneuron. Simultaneously, the interneuron sends a signal to your efferent/motor neurons to retract your hand/leg/whatever, while also sending a message to the brain. This is why you pull back before you feel pain :).
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.

What is the basis for the functional classifications of the neurons?
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.
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
A motor neuron is responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands to stimulate movement or secretion. A relay neuron, also known as an interneuron, acts as a bridge between sensory and motor neurons, facilitating communication between them within the central nervous system. Essentially, motor neurons are involved in output or response, while relay neurons help process and integrate information.

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.
Inter neuron relay impulses from where to where?
Interneurons relay impulses within the central nervous system, typically connecting sensory neurons to motor neurons or other interneurons. They integrate and process information, helping to coordinate the body's response to stimuli.
What is the major role of the inter neuron?
Interneurons act as connectors within the central nervous system, facilitating communication between sensory neurons and motor neurons. They help to integrate and process information received from sensory neurons and relay signals to motor neurons, coordinating the appropriate response to stimuli.
What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.

Motor neurons are considered efferent neurons, which means they transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands to produce a response. They are responsible for initiating and controlling muscle contractions and movements.
