How does the structure of each type of neuron relate to its function in the nervous system?

Motor neurons:

A. Function:

It relay messages coming from the brain or spinal cord to the muscles or organs.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long axons due to long distances the signals have to travel to the muscle its stimulating.

●It's myelinated, to assist the signal in travelling long distances as soon as possible.

Sensory neurons:

A. Function: its sensory receptors respond to stimuli by converting it into an electrical signal to the brain or spinal cord.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long dendrites / axons

● its myelinated

●since it's found in the middle of the neuron it forms ganglia that unites in the spinal cord and aid in involuntary reflexes.

Interneurons:

Structure:

● shorter than motor or sensory neurons

● has branches, a lot of branches consisting of axons and dendrites off the cell body to enable multiple simultaneous between neurons

● It's body is partially myelinated.

●occurs in large clusters of neurons to compensate for its partial myelination to speed up the signal
