The sensory neuron outer
process detects stimuli and is thus a dendrite.

In this hypothetical scenario (Fig.
Then the axon of each moto-
neuron innervates an effector cell population.
One is a typical axon innervating an
effector cell population.
However, the other is a process
that contacts homologous processes from other moto-
neurons.

They are typical neurons conforming to the
functional polarity rule.
There are, however, three other critical functions
interneurons subserve.
