Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?

Answer 1

# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

1. Sensory neurons receive sensory input from the environment and transmit this information to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.
2. Sensory neurons have a cell body located outside the central nervous system (in the dorsal root ganglia), while motor neurons have their cell bodies located within the central nervous system (in the spinal cord or brainstem).
3. Sensory neurons are usually unipolar, with a single process extending from the cell body, while motor neurons are typically multipolar, with multiple processes extending from the cell body.

Answer 4

The sensory receptor is what senses the stimuli but the sensory neurone passes the signals on from the receptor to the Central nervous system (which decifers it)
