Detailed explanation-1: -The brain has billions of them, and they have many specialized jobs. For example, sensory neurons send information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -You have two main types of nerves: Sensory nerves carry signals to your brain to help you touch, taste, smell and see. Motor nerves carry signals to your muscles or glands to help you move and function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory (or afferent) neurons: send information from sensory receptors (e.g., in skin, eyes, nose, tongue, ears) TOWARD the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from tissues and organs to the spinal cord and brain. Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands (see Figure below).
