Begin by understanding the basic types of neurons and their functions in the nervous system.
Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, facilitating movement and action.
Interneurons act as connectors or relay neurons within the central nervous system, processing information and coordinating responses.
Recognize that glial cells and astrocytes are not types of neurons; they are supportive cells in the nervous system, which helps eliminate the incorrect options.
