CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Types of neurons

Basically there are three types of neurons, namely:

1. Sensory Neurons
2. Interneurons
3. Motor Neurons

1. Sensory Neurons

The sensory neurons picks up the stimuli (nerve impulse) and carries it to the spinal cord and brain.

2. Interneurons

The interneurons are found within the brain and spinal cord.  Relays the message between the sensory neurons and the motor neurons.

The motor neurons transfers impulses away from the brain to the spinal cord
