Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ carry signals from the sense organs to the brain
A
Motor neurons
B
Dendrites
C
Sensory neurons
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory nerves are the network of neurons which extend from the sensory organs to the brain. They carry the messages from the sensory organs towards the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Sensory neurons carry signals from the body to the brain and/or spinal cord. Sensory neurons are found in our sensory organs such as our skin, tongue, ears, eyes and nose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory neurons carry information from the sense organs (such as the eyes and ears) to the brain. Motor neurons control voluntary muscle activity such as speaking and carry messages from nerve cells in the brain to the muscles. All the other neurons are called interneurons.

Detailed explanation-5: -The fiber that carries the signal away from the cell body is called the axon. In sensory neurons, the axon is short. The axon communicates with the spinal cord, and the end of the axon is where the neuron terminates.
