Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Interneurons. Interneurons, which are found only in the CNS, connect one neuron to another. They receive information from other neurons (either sensory neurons or interneurons) and transmit information to other neurons (either motor neurons or interneurons).
Detailed explanation-2: -SE neurons have their cell bodies in the CNS; their axons join peripheral nerves and innervate skeletal muscle. As a multipoar neuron, a number of dendrites and one axon emanate from the cell body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrite – The receiving part of the neuron. Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons, with the sum total of dendritic inputs determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential.
