Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ ____ connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them
A
nervous system
B
cell body
C
motor-neurons
D
inter-neurons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interneurons. As the name suggests, interneurons are the ones in between-they connect spinal motor and sensory neurons. As well as transferring signals between sensory and motor neurons, interneurons can also communicate with each other, forming circuits of various complexity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interneuron is the neuron that connects the sensory neuron and the motor neuron. They are present in the central nervous system. It collects sensory impulses and processess them to generates quick responses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interneurons acts as a “middle-man” between afferent, or sensory, neurons, which receive signals from the peripheral nervous system, and efferent, or motor, neurons, which transmit signals from the brain. It also connects to other interneurons, allowing them to communicate with one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -A relay neuron connects sensory and motor neurons and is found in the brain or spinal cord (see diagrams 14.1 and 14.2).

Detailed explanation-5: -Interneurons. Interneurons, which are found only in the CNS, connect one neuron to another. They receive information from other neurons (either sensory neurons or interneurons) and transmit information to other neurons (either motor neurons or interneurons).
