What are the similarities between sensory and motor neurons?

Posted December 6, 2023


Answer

Sensory and motor neurons are two types of neurons found in the central nervous system (CNS). Both consist of a cell body, a nucleus, dendrites, and axon. Both types of neurons carry nerve impulses to and from the CNS. In addition, action potentials are involved in the transmission of signals.
