Sensory and motor neurons communicate with each other through interneurons, which are a type of neuron that acts as a relay between sensory inputs and motor outputs within the central nervous system. Interneurons process the signals received from sensory neurons and transmit the appropriate response to motor neurons, enabling coordinated movements and reflexes. This communication is essential for the integration of sensory information and the generation of motor responses.
Between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron lies the interneuron. Interneurons communicate and process information within the central nervous system, helping to integrate and coordinate sensory inputs with appropriate motor outputs.
The intersection between a neuron and another neuron, a muscle, a gland, or a sensory receptor is called a synapse. At this junction, the transmitting neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the receiving cell, which can be another neuron, a muscle cell (causing contraction), a gland (triggering secretion), or a sensory receptor (initiating sensory processing). This communication is crucial for nervous system function, allowing for the integration of signals and responses throughout the body.
Sensory neuron
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
A neuron fiber that sends a signal from your hand to your brain is called an afferent or sensory neuron. These neurons transmit sensory information, such as touch or pain, from peripheral receptors in the hand to the central nervous system for processing. This communication allows the brain to interpret and respond to stimuli.

Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
Sensory neuron
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
A synonym for sensory neuron is "afferent neuron." Afferent neurons transmit sensory information from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system, playing a crucial role in processing sensory experiences.
Motor neuron has got a motor.. but you have to peddle sensory neurons.
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
