Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons relay information from the periphery, such as a sprained ankle, to the central nervous system in order to register pain. The limbic system is involved in emotional processing, but not specifically in pain sensation. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons but do not directly relay sensory messages. Motor neurons control movement, but do not transmit pain signals.
