Question

The neurons that carry information from the receptors in the eyes, ears, and skin to the brain and spinal cord are called _____ neurons.

Answer 1

Answer: Sensory neurons

Explanation: There are basically three types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons and interneurons. Sensory neurons are nerve cells that carry external stimuli or signals from the organism's environment to the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). They transmit signals from the periphery ie the outer parts of the body such as the skin, ear, eye to the brain and spinal cord.

Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain and the spinal cord to other parts of the body.

Interneurons are nerve cells that link different neurons within the central nervous system.

Answer 2

Sensory neurons

Step-by-step explanation:

Neurons are specialized somatic cells which are responsible of conveying stimuli from the enviroment.

They are made up of three parts; cell body, dendrites and an axon.

Sensory neurons are one of the three types of neurons.

They are responsible of carrying stimuli from external body parts to the central nervous system.

On the other hand, motor neurons carries signals from the brain to other body organs.

The third type is called interneuron, it is located in the brain and nowhere else. It acts as a linkage between other neurons and the brain.
