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