Both use neurones which transmit in via action potential and synaptic transmission. Sensory neurones include pain neurones which enter directly into the brain, which perceives the stimulus as pain and gives emotional and motor responses accordingly. Sensory neurones also perceive homeostasis, in that they sense stimuli outside physiological norms and change homeostasis in order to rectify the problem.
All motor and limbic (emotional) outputs from the brain are stimulated and therefore initiated by sensory neurone inputs.
The spine relys information from peripheral sensory neurones to the brain, and is the literal connection between sensory neurones and the brain.

What are nerves carrying impulses from the sense organs called?
Sensory nerves, or the receptor nerves, as they are only made up of sensory neurons. Receptors are the specialised structures at the end of the sensory nerves that receive the stimuli and convert it into an electrical signal to be conducted by the nerve as a nerve impulse.
What are the three types of neuron?
Functional types of neurons: 1. sensory (afferent) neurons - input to CNS from sensory receptors; dendrites located at receptors, axons in nerves, cell bodies in ganglia outside the CNS 2. motor (efferent) neurons - output from CNS to effectors cell bodies and dendrites located in the CNS, axons in nerves 3. interneurons - communicate and integrate information within the CNS; located entirely within the CNS
What is the location for sensory neurons?
They can be found in the dorsal root ganglia, retina, peripheral vestibular organs, cochlea, and enteric nervous system. Then there are second order sensory neurons in the brain that form the basis of the 'sensory homonculus'.
Which structure carries sensory information?
the dorsal horn is involved in sensory functions
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system?
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called motor neurons. They transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements to occur.
What are neurons that detect stimuli in the environment?
They are nerves. These nerves tell us exactly what we feel, and then send that information to the brain.
What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.
Types of neurons found in mixed nerves?
Both sensory and motor neurons......
Do nerves contain the axons of sensory and motor neurons?
Yes, nerves contain axons of both sensory neurons, which carry information from the body to the brain, and motor neurons, which carry instructions from the brain to the muscles and glands. The axons of sensory and motor neurons are bundled together within nerves to transmit signals throughout the body.
A mixed nerve contains which type of nerves?
A mixed nerve contains both sensory and motor nerves. Sensory nerves carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, while motor nerves carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
What does a sensory neurons do?
Sensory neurons are nerves that take in information from either the outside world, or from within the body itself. Sensory neurons communicate this information to the brain which then issues a response. Sensory nerves take in and communicate information about heat, cold, pressure, pain, position and more. detect, feel, and smell

Can a nerve fibre and nerve both carry sensory and motor impulses?
There are the Mixed Nerves in the spinal column that carry both sensory and motor nerves, but these neurons have 2 different jobs that they do,& I know of no neurons doing both as the impulses travel to 2 different locations which couldn't be done at the same time.

Carries messages toward the brain from receptors?
nerves our individual cells-neurons
What are the cranial nerves belonging to senses?
Sensory nerves are the nerves that allow people to experience taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. For sight, there are photoreceptors; for hearing, there is stereocilia; for touch, there are motor neurons, and for smell there are olfactory sensory nerves.
