Neurons that carry information from the sensory receptors to the CNS:

• Sensory, afferent

• Sensory, efferent

• Moror, afferent

• Motor, efferent

Neurons carrying information from the CNS to the viscera and/or muscles and glands

• interneurons

• motor neurons

• association neurons

Rare in adults, these neurons are only found in sense organs like the eye and nose:

• unipolar

• bipolar

• multipolar
