A nerve cell found entirely within the central nervous system that acts as a link between sensory neurons and motor neurons.
Inter-neurons
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.
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.
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.
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.

Nerve cells specialized on transmitting messages from one part of the body to another. Motor neurons send information away from the central nervous system (CNS). Sensory neurons send information toward the CNS. Inter-neurons send information between motor and sensory neurons.
There are three types of neurons. 1.Sensory neurons: which carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord. 2.Motor neurons : which perform an opposite function to that of sensory neurons by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands. 3. Inter neurons : which connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them.
Not all efferent neurons are motor; some can be autonomic (meaning they control involuntary functions). Similarly, not all afferent neurons are sensory; some can be visceral (relaying information from internal organs). CNS neurons can include interneurons that integrate and transmit signals between sensory and motor neurons, but not all CNS neurons are interneurons, as there are also sensory and motor neurons found within the CNS.
One neuron is there to connect the both. Together they form the reflex arc. cw: Sure, why not?
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.
