Question

based on the function what are the main two types of neurons

Answer 1

Answer

Based on function : The two main types of neurons are :

1. Sensory neurons
2. Motor neuron

1) Sensory neurons : These neurons carry nerve impulse (sensory information) from receptors in the body to the central nervous system.
- They are also known as afferent neurons.

2) Motor neuron : The neurons carry nerve impulses from central nervous system to the body organs (effectors).
- They are also known as efferent neurons.

Interneurons are the third type of neurons that connect sensory neuron and motor neuron.
