Neurons are amazing parts of our nervous system! š Let's explore the different kinds of neurons based on how they are built and what they do.
1. Structural Classification:
Unipolar Neurons: These neurons have one long extension. You can often find them in sensory pathways!
Bipolar Neurons: These have one dendrite and one axon. They help us sense things like sight and smell!
Multipolar Neurons: This is the most common type. They have many dendrites and one axon. They help control muscle movements and send signals in the brain!
2. Functional Classification:
Sensory Neurons: These neurons carry information from our senses to the Central Nervous System (CNS). They act like our alert messengers! š
Motor Neurons: These send signals from the CNS to our muscles. This helps us move!
Interneurons: These connect sensory and motor neurons and help process information. They are like the great organizers in the nervous system! š§
Isn't it cool how different neurons work together? Let's keep learning more! š
