Question

A neuron that simply signals another neuron is called as

• A. Motor neuron
• B. Sensory neuron
• C. Interneuron
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Interneuron

Interneuron is the neuron between the primary afferent neuron and the motor neuron hence they are also called association neuron. They are located in the spinal cord and the brain. The interneuron selects, interprets or modifies the input from the receptor and sends an impulse to an efferent neuron which is the motor neuron. Thus the correct answer is option C.
