What are the differences between the types of neurons?
...
or afferent neurons, form the afferent division of the PNS. They deliver information from sensory receptors to the CNS. The cell bodies of sensory neurons are located in peripheral sensory ganglia.
Sensory neurons,
or efferent neurons, form the efferent division of the PNS. These neurons carry instructions from the CNS to peripheral effectors in a peripheral tissue, organ, or organ system.
Motor neurons,
or association neurons, outnumber all other types of neurons combined. These neurons are located entirely within the brain and spinal cord.
