Functional classification of Neurons o Sensory(afferent)neurons e Carry impulses from the sensory receptors o Cutaneous sense organs Proprioceptors -detect stretch or tension o Motor(efferent)neurons e Carry impulses from the central nervous system
Functional Classification of Neurons • Sensory (afferent) neurons •Carry impulses from the sensory receptors •Cutaneous sense organs •Proprioceptors – detect stretch or tension • Motor (efferent) neurons •Carry impulses from the central nervous system
Functional classification of N eurons Interneurons(association neurons o Found in neural pathways in the central nervous system Connect sensory and motor neurons
Functional Classification of Neurons • Interneurons (association neurons) •Found in neural pathways in the central nervous system •Connect sensory and motor neurons
By function(connections) Sensory Motor Interneuron
