- motor neuron: neurons that relay signals from the central nervous system to the other parts of the body
- sensory neuron: neurons that transmit information to the central nervous system from the senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, as well as those that transmit pain signals
- inter neurons: relay signals between neurons or groups of neurons, are responsible for the processing of information by the brain, like the logic circuits of a computer. Also serve to relay signals from place to place within the central nervous system.
- I was going to make a correction but there is none to be made.

∙ 8y agoSensory neurons - (touch, odor, taste, sound and vision) are are nerve cells that transmit sensory information. They are activated by sensory input, and send projections to other elements of the nervous system, ultimately conveying sensory information to the brain or spinal cord.
Interneurons - Interneurons create neural circuits, enabling communication between sensory or motor neurons and the central nervous system. They have been found to function in reflexes, neurolan oscillations.....
Motor neuron - (muscles, glands) they carry signals from the spinal cord to the muscles to produce (effect) movement.

∙ 9y agoNeurons are the basic structural unit of the nervous system. And these are classiffied as to whether they are mylenated or not.
Or perhaps you are thinking of (1) sensory (afferent) neurons which transmit impulses from the skin and other sensory organs or from various places within the body to the CNS. (2) Motor (efferent) neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands) and (3) interneurons.
And motor neurons are further classified according to the effectors they target. The somatic nervous system (SNS) directs the contraction of skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls the activities of organs, glands, and various involuntary muscles, such as cardiac and smooth muscles.

What are the different types of nerves cells or neurons differentiate the types based on function?
There are 3 different types of neurons , 1 : sensory for conduction of impulses to CNS , 2 : Inter neuron for integration and 3 : motor for conduction of impulses from CNS to body .
Cells located between neurons in the CNS?
The two types of cells in the CNS are neurons and glia. There are many types of glia, including oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia, each with different functions. In general, glia support neuronal function.
What are the three names of cell oragelles and describe their function?
There are more than three types, and plant and animal cells have different ones. Also, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes have different organelles. Clarify.
How do the types of neurons found in the CNS and pns differ in their function?
Sensory (afferent) neurons conduct sensory information toward the CNS.The brain and spinal cord contain interneurons. These receive information and if they are sufficiently stimulated, they stimulate other neurons.Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send information from interneurons to muscle or gland cells (effectors).
Which of these neuron types are unipolar?
which of these neurons types is are unipolar
What are the 3 types of neurons that function to respond to physical stimuli?
The three types of neurons that function to respond to physical stimuli are the same ones that react to over exhaustion and triangles. I hope this helped.

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.
Three types of neurons?
Sensory, motor, interneurons
What are the three types of neurons in the human body?
The three main types of neurons are sensory, motor, and interneurons.
What are the three broad categories 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
What did researchers find in all three types of Gulf War Syndrome patients?
In each of the three types, researchers found different but measurable impairments on objective testing of neurological function.
What are the three types of neurone involved in a reflex action?
The three types of neurons are sensory(afferant) neurons, interneurons, and motor(efferant) neurons. Sensory, or afferent, neurons send information from the receptor to the central nervouse system. Interneurons, found only in the central nervous system, play the role of interpretting the impulse. The motor, or efferent, neurons send the information from the central nervous system to the effector. Receptor->sensory neuron->interneuron->motor neuron->effector.

What are afferent and efferent neurons and inter neurons?
These neurons are classified by the direction in which they send their messages. Afferent neurons are typically sensory neurons--neurons which send information to the brain and spine. They send information about the body and immediate environment. Efferent neurons are typically motor neurons, sending information from the brain and spine to the rest of the body. They allow the main control system a way to act on the body. Another way to distinguish these two is to think of afferent nerves as 'approaching' the brain (A) and efferent nerves as 'exiting' the brain (E). Interneurons are relay neurons and their signals, connecting efferent and afferent neurons in network. They can link up the same types or different types of neurons, meaning connecting sensory neurons together, motor neurons together, or the different types together. The simplest example of these three types working in unison is a reflex arc (which is what is activated when you hurt yourself, like stepping on a pin or burning your hand). The sensory/afferent neuron detects pain and signals the interneuron. Simultaneously, the interneuron sends a signal to your efferent/motor neurons to retract your hand/leg/whatever, while also sending a message to the brain. This is why you pull back before you feel pain :).
