Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons are responsible for receiving information from sensory organs and transmitting it to the central nervous system. Motor neurons, on the other hand, transmit information from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to produce a response. Multipolar neurons have multiple dendrites and a single axon, while interneurons transmit information between neurons within the central nervous system.
