What will be an ideal response?
Motor neurons cause contractions in muscles and secretions from glands and organs. They also inhibit the actions of glands and organs, thereby controlling most of the body's functions. Motor neurons may be described as being efferent because they transmit impulses away from the central nervous system to the muscles or organs to be innervated.
Sensory neurons differ in structure from motor neurons because they do not have true dendrites. Sensory neurons are sometimes referred to as afferent nerves because they carry impulses past the cell body and to the central nervous system.
Interneurons are sometimes called central or associative neurons and are located entirely within the central nervous system. They function to mediate impulses between sensory and motor neurons.
