Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons are also called afferent neurons because they carry information from sensory organs (e.g. eyes, ears, skin) to the central nervous system. Interneurons are found in the central nervous system and connect sensory and motor neurons. Efferent neurons are also known as motor neurons and carry messages from the central nervous system to muscles and glands. Glia cells provide support and protection for neurons but are not involved in transmitting sensory information.
