Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons are the nerve cells that are activated by sensory input from the environment-for example, when you touch a hot surface with your fingertips, the sensory neurons will be the ones firing and sending off signals to the rest of the nervous system about the information they have received.
Detailed explanation-2: -The neurons which carry nerve impulses from the body organs to the brain are called afferent neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from the skin, skeletal muscle, and sensory organs to the CNS. Motor neurons transmit messages about desired movement from the CNS to the muscles to make them contract.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory neurons bring signals into the CNS, and motor neurons carry signals out of the CNS.
