Make a model or draw 3 multipolar neurons. Imagine you had something crawling on your arm. The first is a sensory neuron, getting its information from the skin and sensing the movement.  The second is an interneuron. It relays information from the first (sensory neuron) to the CNS.  The third is a motor neuron. It begins in the CNS but leads all the way to the muscle, so that you can move the fingers and scratch the area. On your images/model the "dendrites" should be blue, "axon" should be green and "soma" should be yellow. As you connect them to each other, take notice in which areas are the receiving end, and which are the transmissive ends.

Question

1. Make a model or draw 3 multipolar neurons. Imagine you had something crawling on your arm.

The first is a sensory neuron, getting its information from the skin and sensing the movement. 

The second is an interneuron. It relays information from the first (sensory neuron) to the CNS. 

The third is a motor neuron. It begins in the CNS but leads all the way to the muscle, so that you can move the fingers and scratch the area.

On your images/model the "dendrites" should be blue, "axon" should be green and "soma" should be yellow. As you connect them to each other, take notice in which areas are the receiving end, and which are the transmissive ends.
