The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
lies between sensory neurons and motor neurons, and some take messages from one side of the sponal cord to the other or from the brain to the cord, and vice versa
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
Interneurons are neurons entirely within the central nervous system (CNS). They function to relay signals between sensory neurons and motor neurons, allowing for complex processing and integration of information within the CNS.
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.
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.
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.

In the central nervous system (CNS), the primary types of neurons are motor neurons, sensory neurons, and interneurons. Motor neurons transmit signals from the CNS to muscles and glands, sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the CNS, and interneurons facilitate communication between neurons within the CNS. Additionally, glial cells, while not neurons, play crucial supportive roles in the CNS.

The cell nucleus contains the chromosomes, and therefore the DNA The term 'nucleus' has a different meaning when talking about the nervous system; in this instance the nucleus is the cell body of neurons within the CNS
Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles are known as somatic motor neurons. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body by transmitting signals that stimulate muscle contractions.
Interneurons are neurons entirely within the central nervous system (CNS). They function to relay signals between sensory neurons and motor neurons, allowing for complex processing and integration of information within the CNS.
