Question

Difference between sensory and motor neurons ???

Answer 1

Answer: Sensory neurons are neurons responsible for converting external stimuli from the environment into corresponding internal stimuli. Motor neurons are neurons located in the central nervous system (CNS); they project their axons outside of the CNS to directly or indirectly control muscles

Answer 2

Answer:

Sensory Neuron  

• Neurons that carry sensory impulse from sensory organs to the central nervous system are known as sensory neurons

• They are located in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal nerve
• It is unipolar
• Comprises of a short axon
• An adult has an average of 10 million sensory nerves in the body
• Found in eyes, skin, ears, tongue and nose

motor neuron

• A neuron that carries motor impulses from the central nervous system to specific effectors is known as motor neurons.

• They are located in the ventral root ganglion of the spinal cord.

• It is multipolar
• Comprises of a long axon

• Half million of motor neurons are found in the body
• Found in muscles and glands
