Compare and contrast the sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons
What will be an ideal response?
All three have the generalized components of a neuron, such as the cell body, dendrites, and so on. However, sensory neurons conduct information toward the brain and spinal cord from the sensory receptors that gather information within and around the body. By contrast, motor neurons carry information away from the brain and spinal cord to an effector. Association neurons, or interneurons, can be found between sensory and motor neurons within the brain or spinal cord. These neurons are responsible for the integration or interpretation of sensory signals and the response to these signals.
