Type of neuron that keeps us informed about the inside/outside of our body.
A
Motor Neuron
B
Interneuron
C
Sensory Neuron
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons get information about what’s going on inside and outside of the body and bring that information into the CNS so it can be processed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrite – The receiving part of the neuron. Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons, with the sum total of dendritic inputs determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential. Spine – The small protrusions found on dendrites that are, for many synapses, the postsynaptic contact site.

Detailed explanation-3: -Afferent neurons in the dorsal roots carry impulses from the body’s sensory receptors to the spinal cord, where the information begins to be processed. The ventral horns contain efferent motor neurons, which control the body’s periphery.
