Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interneurons are specialized cells that act as intermediaries between sensory neurons and motor neurons. Their main function is to receive signals from sensory neurons, process the information, and then transmit these processed signals to motor neurons, which then cause movement or other responses. Glial cells provide support and insulation for neurons, motor neurons are responsible for controlling movements, and sensory neurons are responsible for detecting external stimuli. Therefore, the best choice would be (A) interneuron.
