Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A motor neuron transmits information between the central nervous system and a muscle, which results in muscle contractions and movements. Sensory neurons transmit information about sensations (such as touch, pain, and temperature) from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Interneurons are neurons that communicate between other neurons in the central nervous system. Projection neurons are neurons that project their axons to different parts of the brain or spinal cord.
