∙ 9y agoInterneurons are neurons found within the central nervous system (primarily the brain or spinal cord) that connect sensory (afferent) neurons to motor (efferent) neurons. Often these neurons are part of a polysynaptic reflex arc.

Yes, the stretch reflex involves a simple monosynaptic pathway between sensory neurons and motor neurons without the involvement of interneurons in the spinal cord.
Interneurons are located in the spinal cord. They act as the middlemen in transmitting signals between sensory neurons (that detect stimuli) and motor neurons (that generate a response). In a spinal reflex pathway, after receiving sensory input from a sensory neuron, the interneuron processes the information before signaling the motor neuron to carry out a response.
The pathway between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron is completed by an interneuron, also known as an association neuron. Interneurons relay signals between sensory and motor neurons, integrating and processing information before sending signals to initiate a response.
sensory neurons
There are three main types of neurons based on their function: sensory neurons transmit sensory information (e.g., touch, taste) to the brain, motor neurons control muscle movement, and interneurons relay signals between neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons work together to facilitate communication within the nervous system.

The connection between sensory and motor neurons is made through interneurons in the central nervous system. These interneurons receive sensory input from the sensory neurons and relay this information to the motor neurons, which then carry out the appropriate response. This communication pathway allows for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to stimuli.
The dorsal root of the spinal nerves carry sensory information to the brain and is hence an afferent pathway.
