Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.
The peripheral nervous system, or PNS, conveys nerve impulses from your receptors to the central nervous system, or CNS. They also will convey nerve impulses from the CNS to your effector organs, typically a muscle or gland.
Interneurons
The somatic nervous system transmits sensory messages to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is a sub group of the peripheral nervous system, it mainly controls voluntary muscles and sense organs.
the function of a Dendron is to convey electrical impulses towards the cell body.
White and grey matter are essentially made up of bundles of nerve fibers (called neurons) that convey nerve impulses between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. The major difference between white and gray matter within the spinal cord is that white matter is primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers, while the nerve fibers of gray matter are not. Myelinated nerve cells tremendously increase the speed at which the action potential (nerve impulse) moves along the neurons axon. The job of the neurons that make up white matter is to either convey an action potential from a sensory receptor to the central nervous system, or, from the central nervous system out to an effector (such as a muscle or tissue). These neurons are called sensory neurons and motor neurons respectively. Gray matter consists of unmyelinated neurons, called interneurons. Their main duty is to provide communication between the peripheral and central nervous systems. Think of interneurons as a bridge linking two regions together. For unmyelinated neurons, the speed at which an action potential can propagate down the cell's axon is far less than that of the myelinated neurons of white matter.

The nervous system stores energy and nutrients in the form of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that help transmit nerve impulses throughout the body. These neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the ends of nerve cells, ready to be released when a nerve impulse needs to be transmitted.
A neurone is a collection of specialized cells, along with supporting cells (oligodendrocytes), that convey or carry an electrical impulse to or away from the central nervous system.
Nothing stays the same, right? The answer is, of course.
When nerve cells or neurons are stimulated they undergo chemical changes which make little waves of electricity or nerve impulses. These are based mainly on the movement of positively charged sodium and potassium ions through the neurons cell membrane.When the impulses reach a junction-synapse-they trigger the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. These then cross the synapse and stimulate the receiving neuron to fire impules of their own. Dendrites collect nerve impulses and Axons convey impulses away from cell.
