What are the functional differences between a motor neuron and a sensory neuron?

∙ 11y ago
most nerves carry 2 types of fibre 'sensory 'or 'afferent 'fibres bring messages from receptors in the sense organs and other structures to the spinal cord and brain.
'motor'or 'efferent' fibres convey signals from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland.
some nerves contain just sensory fibres e.g.optic nerve whilst others have just motor fibres.

What are similarities between sensory and motor neuron?
Motor neuron has got a motor.. but you have to peddle sensory neurons.
How are motor and sensory neurons categorized?
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
Structure that carries messages between the brain snd other parts of the body?
The Neuron, and in this case, a motor neuron or a sensory neuron.
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What polysynaptic reflexes have a neuron?
sensory neuron
Which neuron receives information?
actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
What completes pathway between sensory neuron and motor neuron?
i think it was interneuron coz I saw it on one of my books in biology.
What is a neuron that serves as links between the sensory neurons and the motor neurons?
interneuron
What is the pathway of an impulse in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
What is the basis for the functional classifications of the neurons?
Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
