The central nervous system is designed to connect sensory and motor pathways for reflexes.
Interneurons are the cells that serve as that connection. Interneurons (also known as association neurons) are neurons that are found only in the central nervous system. That means that they are found in the brain and spinal cord and not in the peripheral parts of the nervous system. There are more than 100 billion interneurons in the human body.

What neuron comes between the sensory and motor neuron?

Essentially, it is the interneuron. The body has numerous sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are stimulated an send their signal to the central nervous system and synapse or connect with an interneuron which is the processing center. The interneuron then synapses or connects with the motor neuron which sends a message/instruction by way of the motor neuron to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, or glands. This is true, but to add more information, the Interneuron is also known as "relay neuron", "association neuron" or "local circuit neuron".Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron


What structure transmits impulses from a receptor organ to an interneuron?

The structure that transmits impulses from a receptor organ to an interneuron is the sensory neuron. When a receptor organ detects a stimulus, it generates an electrical signal that travels along the sensory neuron's axon. This signal then reaches the synapse with the interneuron, facilitating the transmission of the impulse to the central nervous system for processing.
