Question

Neurons found in the center of the spinal cord that receive information from the sensory neurons and send commands to the muscles through the motor neurons are called ________.
A) motor neurons 
B) interneurons 
C) sensory neurons
D) reflexes

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interneurons are the neurons found in the center of the spinal cord that receive information from the sensory neurons and send commands to the muscles through the motor neurons. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Motor neurons directly control muscle movement, sensory neurons detect and transmit sensory information to the central nervous system, and reflexes are rapid, involuntary responses to stimuli that bypass conscious control.
