Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Local circuit neurons have short axons and form connections with adjacent cells. They are involved in local processing of information within a specific region of the nervous system. Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and other organs. Projection neurons have long axons that can transmit signals over longer distances within the nervous system.
