Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons that carry sensory impulse from sensory organs to the central nervous system are known as sensory neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs. Sensory information is transmitted to the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -Different neurons have different 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 to allow muscles to move.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory neurons receive information via their receptors, which are part of the peripheral nervous system, and convert this information into electrical impulses. These impulses act as signals and are passed on to the central nervous system. The spinal cord and brain then receive and respond to this information.
