# Functional Classification of Neurons The image depicts a diagram illustrating the different types of neurons and their functions. **Figure 12.4** **Sensory Neurons:** * Transmit sensory input from receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). * Shown with a unipolar structure. **Interneurons:** * Completely within the CNS. * Process information within the CNS. * Shown with a multipolar structure. **Motor Neurons:** * Transmit motor output from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands). * Shown with a multipolar structure. The diagram also shows the cell body of a sensory neuron, the spinal cord, and a ganglion. The image also includes a caption noting that the relative sizes of the cell bodies in the diagram are larger than normal for illustrative purposes.
