Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Motor neurons directly transmit signals to and from our spinal cords, making them responsible for our muscle movements.

Sensory neurons allow us to understand what we feel, if we touch something soft then our sensory neurons tell us that, same as if we touch something hard or hot.

Inter neurons are what connect the motor and sensory neurons. For example, when you touch something hot you take your hand away. Inter neurons take the information from the sensory neuron that tells you the thing is hot and then tell your motor neurons to pull your hand away.

All of them work to protect your body from outer issues and keep everything functioning properly.
