There are three main types of neurons based on their function: sensory neurons transmit sensory information (e.g., touch, taste) to the brain, motor neurons control muscle movement, and interneurons relay signals between neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons work together to facilitate communication within the nervous system.
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.

Sensory neurons relay information from sense organs, motor neurons carry impulses to muscles and glands, and inter-neurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor neurons. A typical neuron consists of dendrites (fibres that receive stimuli and conduct them inward), a cell body (a nucleated body that receives input from dendrites), and an axon (a fibre that conducts the nerve impulse from the cell body outward to the axon terminals). Both axons and dendrites may be referred to as nerve fibres. Impulses are relayed by neurotransmitter chemicals released by the axon terminals across the synapses (junctions between neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell, such as a muscle cell) or, in some cases, pass directly from one neuron to the next. Large axons are insulated by a myelin sheath formed by fatty cells called Schwann cells. Bundles of fibres from neurons held together by connective tissue form nerves.

Inter-neurons
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.
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.
A nerve cell found entirely within the central nervous system that acts as a link between sensory neurons and motor neurons.
There are three main types of neurons based on their function: sensory neurons transmit sensory information (e.g., touch, taste) to the brain, motor neurons control muscle movement, and interneurons relay signals between neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons work together to facilitate communication within the nervous system.
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.
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.
Renal function is the medical term meaning kidney function. Renal means pertaining to the kidney.
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.
Its main function is oxidative phosphorylation.
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.
