Answer: Sensory neurons

Explanation: There are basically three types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons and interneurons. Sensory neurons are nerve cells that carry external stimuli or signals from the organism's environment to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). They transmit signals from the periphery ie the outer parts of the body such as the skin, ear, eye to the brain and spinal cord.

Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain and the spinal cord to other parts of the body.

Interneurons are nerve cells that link different neurons within the central nervous system.

Answer:

Sensory neurons

Explanation:

Neurons are specialized somatic cells which are responsible of conveying stimuli from the enviroment.

HURRYY!!<br><br> Why have American's portion sizes become larger in the last decade?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

American's portion sizes have become larger in the last decade due to the expanding of food industries and marketing campaigns that tell us to eat more.

Explanation:

The growth of food industries in the last decades to obtain more money in combination with the media influence has led us to eat more, thus why the size of our portions has increased their size.

Another theory states that people always want to eat more, and the industry has only fulfilled this demand, but it is not clear why, in the past, this did not happen.
