Where does sensory neurons and motor neurons found in?
The peripheral nervous system (PNS), basically anywhere outside the spinal cord and brain. Motor Neurons are found in the central nervous system. In the Ventrall horn of the spinal cord.
What does each do?
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
What are neurons?
neurons are the basic working unit of the nervous system that is the nerve cell
What relays information for muscles?
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.

Are cells the same as neurons?
A neuron is a type of cell, but not all cells are neurons.(Just like a Dalmatian is a type of dog, but not all dogs are Dalmatians.)Neurons are mostly found in the brain and spinal column.
Where are Multipolar neurons found?
Unipolar neurons are found in ganglion outside the CNS.
Which neurons are foundonly within the brain and spinal cord?
Scientists have organized the cells that make up the nervous system into two broad groups: neurons, which are the primary signaling cells, and glia, which support neurons in various ways. The human brain contains around 100 billion neurons and, by most estimates, somewhere between 10 to 50 times as many glial cells. Bipolar ones are usually found outside the brain and interneurons are found within the brain.
What tissue types are found in the brain?
Mostly neurons and neuroglia. There is also cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), and the covering of connective tissue called meninges.
What is a neuron serving as part of the conduction pathway between sensory and motor neurons?
Interneurons are neurons found within the central nervous system (primarily the brain or spinal cord) that connect sensory (afferent) neurons to motor (efferent) neurons. Often these neurons are part of a polysynaptic reflex arc.interneurons. They are also called association neurons.
What is the location for interneurons?
They are found in the Brain and Spinal Cord. They pretty much are located there because The Spinal cord and Brain are major spots where the nervous system works.
How many neurons can be found in the brain?
its over 9000!
