Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each type of neuron: Sensory neurons, Motor neurons, Efferent neurons, and Interneurons.
Sensory neurons are responsible for carrying impulses from sensory receptors in the body to the central nervous system (CNS).
Motor neurons carry impulses away from the CNS to effectors such as muscles and glands.
Efferent neurons are another term for motor neurons, as they carry signals away from the CNS.
Interneurons are found within the CNS and are responsible for processing information and connecting sensory and motor pathways.
