The main difference is that motor neurons move signals away from the central nervous system and spinal cord where as sensory neurons move signals towards the central nervous system and spinal cord.

Sensory neurons carry the impulse generated by the stimulus to the central nervous system, interneurons then carry the impulse through the central nervous system and the motor neurons then take the impulse from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles and glands.

There are multiple differences in physical anatomy of neurons, but the basic difference is that motor neurons are responsible for carrying messages away from the brain, while sensory neurons are responsible for relaying information to the brain.

What kind of neurons serve as links between the sensory neurons and the motor neurons?

Interneurons are the neurons that make up the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). They internally communicate between the input from sensory neurons and our physical reaction triggered by the motor neurons.


What sensory neurons to motor neurons?

Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
