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

What is the entire series of events through a three-neuron loop?

In a three-neuron loop, the first neuron sends a signal to the second neuron via a synapse. The second neuron processes the signal and sends it to the third neuron through another synapse. Finally, the third neuron integrates the signal and produces a response or transmits it further in the neural network.


What are the three types of neurons in the human body?

The three types of neurons in the human body are sensory neurons, which receive sensory information from the environment and transmit it to the brain; motor neurons, which carry signals from the brain to muscles and glands to control movement and bodily functions; and interneurons, which facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons in the central nervous system.

What is the basis for the functional classifications of the neurons?

Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.


What are three kinds of neutrons that would be involved in a reflex impulse?

They are neurons and not neutrons. You have afferent neuron. Then you have intermediate neuron and then you have the efferent neuron in the reflex arc.
