Summary Introduction

To review:

Differences between the location and function of interneurons, afferent neurons, and efferent neurons.

Introduction:

The neurons are specialized cells of the body that have the ability to receive and send signals to the brain, in the form of electrical impulses. Different types of neurons are present in the nervous system, which share common structural features that are, axons, dendrites, and cell body. The neurons generate electrical impulses due to the membrane potential that is generated across the plasma membrane of the neurons.
