Interneuron is also known as:
Correct answer: A. Relay neuron
- A. Relay neuron
- B. Sensory neuron
- C. Mixed neuron
- D. Synapse
Explanation
Relay neurons, also known as interneurons or association neurons, are found entirely within the CNS and act as intermediaries between sensory neurons and motor neurons. They integrate and process incoming sensory information and facilitate communication between different parts of the brain and spinal cord. When sensory information arrives in the CNS, relay neurons receive and analyze it, making connections with other neurons to relay the processed information to the appropriate areas of the brain for further processing or to motor neurons for appropriate responses.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
