Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The nerve cell that connects sensory and motor neurons is a ____
A
Motor Neuron
B
Sensory Neuron
C
Interneurons
D
Glial cells
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: -Sensory neurons have dendrites on both ends, connected by a long axon with a cell body in the middle. Interneurons, or associative neurons, carry information between motor and sensory neurons. These fundamental members of the nervous system also vary with respect to their functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interneurons are multipolar nerve cells (see image), meaning that they have more than one dendrite. Although they are found throughout the brain, each one is confined to a particular region: they do not connect different parts of the brain to one another.
