Neurons do not typically carry out phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a process by which certain immune cells engulf and digest pathogens or debris, and neurons are not specialized for this function. Microglial cells, which are a type of immune cell in the brain, are responsible for phagocytosis in the central nervous system.

How do sensory neurons and monitor neurons differ?

Sensory neurons carry sensory information from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the body to control movement. Monitor neurons are specialized neurons that help regulate and coordinate the activity of other neurons in the nervous system.


How many types of 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.
