Detailed explanation-2: -Relay neurons connect various neurons within the brain and spinal cord and are easy to recognize due to their short axons. Alike to motor neurons, interneurons are multipolar. This means they have one axon and several dendrites.

Detailed explanation-3: -An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is one of the three classifications of neurons found in the human body. Interneurons create neural circuits, enabling communication between sensory or motor neurons and the central nervous system (CNS).
