how are AC induction motors structurally different from dc motors and other ac motors?

thats the question and i know that the induction motor has no commutators and no brushes whereas dc/ac motors do have them.
what else is structually different?

u could actually compare an induction motor with a DC motor? mhmm

but they're totally different in structure (if i'm thinking about the right DC motor where there are permanent magnets as the stator and a rotating coil fed with current which experiences a torque) the induction motor has several electromagnets to generate the changing magnetic field is another difference? =Z
