Sensory neurons gather information and send it to your spinal cord.
Sensory neurons are responsible for sending information to the spinal cord. These neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors in the body to the spinal cord, which then relays the information to the brain for processing.
Sensory neurons carry signals from the receptors in our body (e.g. thermal, pressure etc.) to the relay neurons, which are found in our spinal cord. Relay neurons then send signals along the spinal cord to the brain. The brain then processes the information and sends a signal back down the spinal cord, through the relay neurons. Relay neurons then sends signals to motor neurons, which will then affect the muscles' movements.Read more: What_does_neuron_cells_do

Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Motor neurons usually carry information to muscles and glands. Sensory neurons carry information from sense organs or free endings to the spinal cord or brain. Interneurons act as a go between.

The cells are also called nerve cells. They carry information into the spinal cord and brain and out of the cord and brain to the body.
The dorsal root of the spinal nerves carry sensory information to the brain and is hence an afferent pathway.
