enters CNS

8
New cards

Sensory

Transmit impulses from sensory receptors toward CNS

9
New cards

Sensory classifications are

almost all are unipolar

10
New cards

Where are the sensory neurons' somas found?

ganglia in PNS

11
New cards

Motor

Carry impulses from CNS to effectors

12
New cards

Motor classifications are

multipolar

13
New cards

Where are the motor neurons' somas found? CNS

14
New cards

Interneurons

lie between motor and sensory neurons

15
New cards

What do interneurons do?

shuttle signals through CNS pathways
