Q

Sensory neurons

A

Found in receptors such as eyes, ears, tongue and skin, carry nerve impulses to the spinal cord and brain.
These are then translated to sensations

Q

Motor neurons

A

Found in CNS and control muscle movements.

When motor neurons are stimulated they release neurotransmitters that bind receptors on muscles to trigger a response.
