Which of the following is correct regarding Interneurons? They are also called afferent neurons either contain sensory receptors at their distal ends (dendrites) or are located just after sensory receptors that are separate cells. They are also called association neurons which are mainly located within the CNS between sensory and motor neurons. All the options are correct regarding interneurons. They are also called efferent neurons which convey action potentials away from the CNS to effectors (muscles and glands).
