A&P 4--Structural/Functional Classification of Neurons

sensory neurons

aka apharent neurons; bringing information towards the nervous system

motor neurons

aka epharent neurons; bringing information away form nervous system

interneurons

between sensory division and motor division; all in CNS; 99% off neurons are these

multipolar

many processes off of the cell body; majority

bipolar

one axon; one dendrite; found in special senses ex: retina of eye

unipolar

one process coming off of cell body; then splits; found in sensory neurons
