motor neurons
2
Q
what do sensory neurons do?
-where is cell body found
-myelinated or non
A
take information from the envrionment to the CNS for processing
-midway through axon
-myelinated
3
Q
What do interneurons do? (2)
-found where
-myelinated or non
A
links neurons to the body AND interprets sensory information and connects it to outgoing motor neurons
-in the brain and spine
-unmyelinated
4
Q
What do motor neurons do?
-myelinanted or non
A
relay information from the CNS to the effectors (muscles and glands)
-myelinated
