How do you classify neurons based off function?
A
Look at way the impulse travels in relation to the spine and brain
B
Look at way the impulse travels in relation to the brain and spine
C
Look at way the impulse travels in relation to the brain and arms/legs
D
Look at way the impulse travels in relation to the spine and eyes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In terms of function, scientists classify neurons into three broad types: sensory, motor, and interneurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The neuron which carries nerve impulses from receptors to the spinal cord is sensory neuron and is also called as afferent neuron. Efferent or motor neurons carry impulses away from the spinal cord to effectors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons are classified functionally according to the direction in which the signal travels, in relation to the CNS. This classification also results in three different types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Different types of neurons include sensory, motor, and interneurons, as well as structurally-based neurons, which include unipolar, multipolar, bipolar, and pseudo-unipolar neurons.
