Understand the basic structure of the nervous system, which is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS consists of nerves and ganglia outside the CNS.
Identify the types of neurons based on their function and location: sensory neurons, motor neurons, interneurons, and bipolar neurons.
Sensory neurons carry signals from the PNS to the CNS. Their cell bodies are typically located in the PNS.
Motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to the PNS. Their cell bodies are located in the CNS, and their axons extend into the PNS to innervate muscles or glands.
Interneurons are located entirely within the CNS and are responsible for processing information. Bipolar neurons are a type of sensory neuron with two extensions and are not typically involved in the CNS to PNS pathway.
