1 Types of Neurons

2 3 Types of Neurons Sensory Interneuron Motor

3 Sensory Neuron Sensory neurons carry impulses from the senses to the brain and spinal cord

4 Interneuron Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them

5 Motor Neuron Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands

6 An involuntary and instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus
Examples: Blinking, Knee-jerk reflex, Shivering, Sneeze, Yawn, Cough

7 Reflex Arc Stimulus to sensory neuron to interneuron to motor neuron
Occurs quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without going through the brain
