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.
Interneurons or association neurons.
Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.
The neurons that carry messages to the brain are called sensory neurons. They transmit information from sensory receptors in the body to the brain for processing and interpretation.
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.
These are those neurons which carry impulses from the organ or part of body to the brain
Interneurons or association neurons.
Motor neurons
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Neurons that carry impulses are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, directing them to take action in response to stimuli.
afferent neurons
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.
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.

this is not true about neurons: dendrites carry information away from the cell body
