Neuron
Neurons (also spelled neurones or called nerve cells) are the primary cells of the nervous system.
Classes
There are three classes of neurons: afferent neurons, efferent neurons, and interneurons.

- Afferent neurons convey information from tissues and organs into the central nervous system.
- Efferent neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the effector cells.
- Interneurons connect neurons within the central nervous system.
- Pseudounipolar- single dendrite longer than single axon
- Bipolar - single axon and single dendrite equal length
- Multipolar - more than two dendrites
- Golgi I- pyramidal cell
- Golgi II- granule (stellate) cell
