The three types of neurons are ________.
A) sensory neurons, excitation neurons, and intraneurons
B) receptor neurons, excitation neurons, and intraneurons
C) cell bodies, cell membranes, and ions
D) sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three types of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons receive information from sensory receptors and transmit it to the central nervous system, motor neurons transmit commands from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, and interneurons are located entirely within the central nervous system and act as intermediaries between sensory and motor neurons. Option A is incorrect as there is no such thing as an excitation neuron, and receptor neurons are not a recognized type of neuron. Option B is incorrect as there is no such thing as an excitation neuron, and intraneurons are not a recognized type of neuron. Option C is incorrect as it lists parts of a neuron rather than types of neurons.
