Are sensory neurons organs?
No, sensory neurons are not organs. Sensory neurons are a type of nerve cell that carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system where it is processed. They are part of the nervous system but do not constitute organs themselves.
Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of what?
Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of the sensory receptor that detects stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and temperature. They transmit this sensory information to the neuron's cell body, which then processes and transmits the signal to the central nervous system.
What are the three classes of neuron?
The three classes of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system (CNS), motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to control movements, and interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS.
Are sensory neurons afferent neurons?
Yes, sensory neurons are a type of afferent neuron. They carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is the?
The part of a spinal nerve that contains only sensory neurons is called the ventral root. There's also the axons of motor neurons and axons of sensory neurons.
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
Sensory neorons and neurons are connected by-?
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Are neurons that relay impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
Are sensory neurons organs?
No, sensory neurons are not organs. Sensory neurons are a type of nerve cell that carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system where it is processed. They are part of the nervous system but do not constitute organs themselves.
What are neurons that relay impulses from sensory to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons

Dendrites found on unipolar neurons are part of the sensory receptor that detects stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and temperature. They transmit this sensory information to the neuron's cell body, which then processes and transmits the signal to the central nervous system.
What is a neuron serving as part of the conduction pathway between sensory and motor neurons?
Interneurons are neurons found within the central nervous system (primarily the brain or spinal cord) that connect sensory (afferent) neurons to motor (efferent) neurons. Often these neurons are part of a polysynaptic reflex arc.interneurons. They are also called association neurons.
Can atomic neurons be sensory or afferent neurons?
I believe you mean autonomic neurons (part of the ANS) and yes, they can be sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are the same as afferent neurons--meaning they carry signals towards the CNS. Think as afferent as 'approaching'. Anyhow, these neurons sense the conditions of your visceral organs and whatnot. Other wise it would have no information to judge for what signals to send. So yes, autonomic neurons consist of both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) neurons.
Which type of neurons are sensory neurons?
Sensory neurons traveling through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are pseudounipolar neurons.
Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by?
Sensory neurons and motor neurons are connected by interneurons in the central nervous system. Interneurons help relay signals from sensory neurons to motor neurons, allowing for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to various stimuli.
Neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system?
Sensory neuron and motor neuron.
