Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interneurons are specialized nerve cells that act as a link or intermediary between sensory neurons, which carry information from sensory organs to the central nervous system, and motor neurons, which carry motor signals to muscles or glands. They are located entirely within the brain or spinal cord and have many dendrites, allowing them to receive multiple inputs, and one axon through which they can send output signals to other neurons. Therefore, all the given choices accurately describe interneurons.
