3 Types of Neurons

• Sensory (Afferent) Neurons-
• Motor (Efferent) Neuron-
• Interneuron-
• Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)- controls involuntary muscles, organs, and glands; reacts to stress
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)-
• Somatic Nervous System-
• Sensory Pathway-
• Motor Pathway-
• Sympathetic Division-
