What functional differences are there among sensory motor and associative neurons?
Sensory neurons are specialized to translate many forms of input (light waves, sound waves, tissue displacement, molecules suspended in air or dissolved in saliva, and so on) into action potentials. Motor neurons carry commands to glands and muscles. Association neurons have neither specific sensory nor motor functions, but rather form bridges between the sensory and motor neurons.
What else can I help you with?
What neuron is found only within the central nervous system?
Interneurons or associative neurons(connecting or relaying neurons)
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
The type of neuron that is also known as an interneuron is the associative neuron. Interneurons are responsible for transmitting signals between sensory neurons (afferent neurons) and motor neurons (efferent neurons) in the central nervous system.
What are the three classes of neuron?
The three classes of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system (CNS), motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to control movements, and interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS.
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
What sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.

What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons

Sensory neorons and neurons are connected by-?
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Are neurons that relay impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
What are neurons that relay impulses from sensory to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
Which type of neurons are sensory neurons?
Sensory neurons traveling through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are pseudounipolar neurons.
Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by?
Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by interneurons in the central nervous system. Interneurons help relay signals from sensory neurons to motor neurons, allowing for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to various stimuli.
What are the three classes of neuron?
The three classes of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system (CNS), motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to control movements, and interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS.

Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
What sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
What are 3 types of neurons?
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
