Afferent neurons go to the Brain while efferent neurons go down
A synapse--basically the junction of an axon of one neuron, a space (called the synaptic cleft) and the dendrites of another neuron.
interneurons
peripheral nerves
interneuron
opposite of an afferent neuron. an efferent neuron goes from the central nervous system to the organ in the body that will perform the required action.
Afferent neurons carry information to the CNS, and efferent neuron carries it away.
Summarized below are the 5 major components of the reflex arc: 1. Receptor 2. Afferent (sensory) neurons 3. Association neuron 4. Efferent (motor) neurons 5. Effector
Afferent means going towards a center, in this case, a vessel going towards a lymph node. Efferent means going away from center, in this case, these are vessels associated with the thymus and spleen. A vessel can be both afferent and efferent if it leaves a peripheral lymph node (where it's efferent to the node) and connects to a greater node, where it becomes an afferent vessel as it enters the greater node or a lymphatic duct.
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".
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.
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
afferent and efferent Afferent (to the spinal cord and brain) Efferent (to an effector such as a muscle or gland)
You have three neurons in the reflex arc. You have the afferent, the intermediate and efferent neurons in the reflex arc. So the answer is intermediate neuron.
A motor or efferent neuron.

two efferent neurons
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
both afferent ( sensory) and efferent (motor)
Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.
They are neurons and not neutrons. You have afferent neuron. Then you have intermediate neuron and then you have the efferent neuron in the reflex arc.
