- The structure and function of sensory, relay and
motor neurons
- Motor Neuron
- Short dendrites and long axons.
- These connect the CNS to effectors such as muscles and glands. Carry information from the brain to muscles and glands.
- Sensory Neurons
- Long dendrites and short axons.
- Carry messages from the PNS to the CNS. Carry information from sense organs towards the brain.
- Relay Neurons
- Short dendrites and short axons.
- These connect the sensory neurons to the motor or other relay neurons.
- Carry information to and from the brain. Involved in analysing information and deciding how to respond
- Motor Neuron
