It is correct to say that sensory neurons carry information from sense to spinal cord. These sensory neurons then connect to relay neurons that carry the information to the Central Nervous system (CNS). The CNS then sends a signal to the motor neuron that prompts a reflux action for Mary to quickly pul her hand out.
