Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which neurons act to connect a sensory neuron to a motor neuron?
A
interneuron
B
afferent
C
efferent
D
motor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interneurons acts as a “middle-man” between afferent, or sensory, neurons, which receive signals from the peripheral nervous system, and efferent, or motor, neurons, which transmit signals from the brain. It also connects to other interneurons, allowing them to communicate with one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons carry signals from the outer parts of your body (periphery) into the central nervous system. Motor neurons (motoneurons) carry signals from the central nervous system to the outer parts (muscles, skin, glands) of your body. Interneurons connect various neurons within the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reflex arc in which the sensory and motor neurons are connected by an interneuron is called the polysynaptic reflex arc. The reflex action involving the transmission of electrical information by the polysynaptic reflex arc is considered as a polysynaptic reflex.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory cells carry afferent impulses to a central interneuron, which makes contact with a motor neuron. The motor neuron carries efferent impulses to the effector, which produces the response.
