Transmit sensory information from receptors to the central nervous system; typically have long dendrites and shorter axons.

Carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands; usually have long axons and shorter dendrites.

Connect neurons within the central nervous system and interpret, process, and coordinate information; typically found within the CNS.

Located in the cerebellum; play a critical role in motor coordination and cognitive functions; characterized by a dense and elaborate dendritic tree.

Found in the cerebral cortex; involved in cognitive functioning, particularly in the transmission of information between different areas of the brain; identified by their pyramid-shaped cell body.

Have a single projection from the cell body that then splits into two axonal roots; predominantly found in sensory ganglia.

Have one axon and one dendrite; found in the sensory systems such as the retina of the eye and the olfactory system.

Have one axon and multiple dendrites; the most common type of neuron in the central nervous system.

Not neurons but glial cells that wrap around the axons of peripheral neurons forming the myelin sheath; aid in increasing the speed of neural transmission along the axon.
