Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons carry impulses from the receptors in the sense organs to the CNS, while the association or connection neurons carry impulses from the sensory to the motor neurons. The motor neurons carry impulses from the CNS to the effectors.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons are the afferent limb of somatosensory neural pathways. The neuron consists of a cell body, axon, and dendrites. Dendrites are finger-like projections that receive sensory input and transmit the signal through the axon to the cell body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from sense organs and internal organs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the central nervous system to organs, glands, and muscles-the opposite direction.
