Summary Introduction
To describe:
The functions of sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.
Introduction:
A neuron is a basic functional unit of the nervous system. The human brain consists of about 100 billion neurons. Neurons are the specialized cells of the nervous system that makes a complex network for the transmission of messages. It is a rapid and efficient network of the nervous system. It carries various messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to all over the body and transfer signals across different parts of the body.
Neurons are divided into three types based on their functional activities in the nervous system.
- Sensory neurons.
- Interneurons.
- Motor neurons
