- A bundle of neurones running parallel to each other forms a nerve.
- A fatty layer called the myelin sheath acts as insulation around sensory and motor neurones, speeding up the speed of electrical transmission.
| Sensory neurones carry electrical impulses from the receptor to the CNS |  |
| Relay neurones carry electrical impulses through the CNS. |  |
| Motor neurones carry electrical impulses from the CNS to an effector (muscle or gland). |  |
