Sensory neurons are specialized cells responsible for transmitting sensory information from various parts of the body to the central nervous system (CNS). They detect stimuli from the environment, such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell, and convert these signals into electrical impulses. These impulses are then processed by the CNS, allowing for perception and response to the surrounding environment. Essentially, sensory neurons play a crucial role in how organisms interact with and perceive their world.

Sensory Neurons
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Afferent Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons.
Motor neurons and intern neurons
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
Sensory Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons are connector neurons that establish connections between other neurons.
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
afferent neurons
Sensory neurons traveling through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are pseudounipolar neurons.
