Answer :
Answer:
Explanation:
The correct answer is c. Intrinsic neuron or interneuron.
Explanation:
Intrinsic neurons or interneurons are the neurons that have the shortest axons among the different types of neurons.
Sensory neurons:
Sensory neurons have relatively long axons that extend from the sensory receptors (e.g., in the skin) to the central nervous system (e.g., spinal cord or brain).
Motor neurons:
Motor neurons also have relatively long axons that extend from the central nervous system to the effector organs (e.g., muscles).
Intrinsic neurons or interneurons:
Intrinsic neurons or interneurons are located entirely within the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They have short axons that connect nearby neurons within the same region of the central nervous system. Their primary function is to integrate and process information within the central nervous system.
Therefore, among the three types of neurons, the intrinsic neurons or interneurons have the shortest axons, as they do not need to span long distances like sensory and motor neurons.
