What are the three broad categories of neurons?

Answer 1

Functional types of neurons:

1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS

2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves

3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS;

located entirely within the CNS

Answer 2

Anatomically speaking, There are four kinds of neurons, based on how many different processes are coming out from neuron cell body:

Unipolar Neurons

Bi-Polar Neurons

Pseudo-unipolar Neurons

Multipolar Neurons

Functionally Speaking, There are three kinds of neurons, based on its function:

Motor Neurons

Intermediate Neurons

Sensory Neurons

Answer 3

The 3 types of neurons are sensory, motor, and interneurons. They allow you to sense your senses, such as taste, smell, touch, etc, perform actions, and communicate with other neurons respectively.
