Question

Name three types of neurons and give the function of each.

Answer 1

The three types of neurons and its function:

• Sensory neurons:helps us to sense the smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing.

• Motor neurons:function is to transfer the signal from the spinal cord to the muscles.

• Interneurons: function is to pass the information from the sensory neurons to the motor neurons

Step-by-step explanation:

Neurons function is to receive and send the signal to the brain.

1. Sensory neurons:it receives the information from the sensory organ such as nose, skin, eyes, and tongue. Sensory neuron collects the information from the environment and carries them to the spinal cord.
2. Motor neurons:Motor neurons are present within the brain and the spinal cord. They are of two types

• upper motor neurons

• lower motor neurons

it connects the organ, muscle, glands and also control the muscular movements.

3. Interneurons: are found in the spinal cord and brain.interneuron build a neural circuit and allow the communication between the motor neuron and the central nervous system.
