Which is FALSE about interneurons?
Multiple Choice
They sum excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs.
They receive synaptic input from other neurons in the CNS.
They deliver synaptic input on other neurons.
They can transmit information between afferent neurons and efferent
neurons.
They make synapses on effector organs in the PNS.
ANSWER - (E) they make synapses on effector organs in the PNS
Interneurons are actually communicating nueral units which helps in communicating between the motor or sensory neuron with central nervous system.
And they are present in the central nervous system and in the spinal cord and are absent in the peripheral nervous system and so they cant make synapse on effector organ in the PNS.
They are present in body in billions in numbers and like all other neurons they also can excite tissues with the help of acetylcholine and a neurotransmitter.
They makes the coordinative signal between the neurons and CNS and so they recieve the synaptic input from other neurons in the CNS.
they can work like all other neurons in CNS and have both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic input they use to recieve the signals from the neurons in CNS and delivers it to the other neurons .
All the tranmission work in done by the interneurons ; they dont have there functions they are use to transmit signals from one neurons to another thus making the connection better in the CNS .
they can transmit the information between the all sensory and motor neurons in CNS and so 4th statement is also true they are not present in the PNS.
