• The main function of a neuron is to regulate body temperature.

• The main function of a neuron is to produce hormones.

• The main function of a neuron is to transmit information throughout the body.

Name the three main types of neurons.

• Input neurons, output neurons, and processing neurons

• Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons

• Red neurons, blue neurons, and green neurons

• A neurons, B neurons, and C neurons

Which part of the neuron receives signals from other neurons?

• Axon

• Synapse

• Cell body

• Dendrites

What is the function of the axon in a neuron?

• The function of the axon in a neuron is to regulate the temperature of the cell body.

• The function of the axon in a neuron is to store nutrients for the cell body.

• The function of the axon in a neuron is to produce hormones for the body.

• The function of the axon in a neuron is to transmit electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

Which type of neuron carries information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands?

• Interneuron

• Motor neuron

• Sensory neuron

• Photoreceptor neuron

What is the role of dendrites in a neuron?

• Dendrites in a neuron send signals to other neurons

• Dendrites in a neuron regulate the cell's metabolism

• Dendrites in a neuron store energy for the cell body

• Dendrites in a neuron receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.

Name the type of neuron that carries information from sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord.

• Interneurons

What is the function of the myelin sheath in a neuron?

• The myelin sheath in a neuron functions to insulate and protect the axon, as well as to increase the speed of electrical impulses.

• The myelin sheath in a neuron functions to slow down electrical impulses

• The myelin sheath in a neuron functions to decrease the speed of electrical impulses

• The myelin sheath in a neuron functions to protect the dendrites

Which type of neuron connects sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord?
