Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The function of sensory neurons is to detect and transmit signals from a peripheral region to a more central location in the central nervous system, i.e., the spinal cord or the brain. The transduction of the signal takes place in the sensory receptor at the dendritic end of the neuron.
Detailed explanation-2: -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). Interneurons carry nerve impulses back and forth between sensory and motor neurons.
