Study Notes

Types of Neurons

Motor neurons carry information away from a structure and allow the brain and spinal cord to communicate with muscles, organs, and glands all over the body.
Sensory neurons receive information from sensory receptors and transmit it to the central nervous system.
Interneurons are neurons that integrate and process information within the central nervous system.
Unipolar neurons have one axon that extends from the cell body, and they are responsible for transmitting sensory information.

Synapse

A synapse is the small gap between the terminal end of one neuron and the receptors of another neuron, where chemical signals are transmitted.
