which part of neurons carries the nerve impulse from the cell body to other neurons and muscles ?

• dendrites

• cell body

• axon

what is the three kinds of neurons ?

• sensory neurons

• interneurons

• motor neurons

• reflex neurons

what is the function of sensory neurons ?

• send impulses to the brain and spinal cord

• carry the impulse to motor neurons

• carry the impulses away from brain or spinal cord to a gland or muscle

what is the function of motor neurons ?

• send impulses to the brain and spinal cord

• carry the impulse to motor neurons

• carry the impulses away from brain or spinal cord to a gland or muscle

what is the function of interneurons?

• send impulses to the brain and spinal cord

• carry the impulse to motor neurons

• carry the impulses away from brain or spinal cord to a gland or muscle
