The sensory (or afferent) neuron carries messages to the brain and then the motor (or efferent) neuron carries the reaction message from the brain to the gland or muscle being effected in response. :)

Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
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.
No, the sensory afferent division conveys impulses towards the central nervous system. Afferent neurons transmit sensory signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, whereas efferent neurons carry signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called motor neurons. They transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements to occur.
Sensory neurons receive sensory input from the environment and transmit this information to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands. Sensory neurons have a cell body located outside the central nervous system (in the dorsal root ganglia), while motor neurons have their cell bodies located within the central nervous system (in the spinal cord or brainstem). Sensory neurons are usually unipolar, with a single process extending from the cell body, while motor neurons are typically multipolar, with multiple processes extending from the cell body.
Sensory neurones carry impulses to the CNS, motor neurones carry impulses to muscles.

Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
Motor neurons are also known as efferent neurons because they carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, leading to an outward response or action. These neurons control voluntary movements as well as involuntary actions like heartbeat and digestion.
Motor neurons.
Both neurons and motor neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical impulses. Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system, while motor neurons specifically transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands to produce movement. Both types of cells rely on the same fundamental mechanism of generating and transmitting electrical signals through their structure and function.
Neurons that carry impulses away from the central nervous system are called motor neurons. They transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary and involuntary movements to occur.
There are three main types of neurons based on their function: sensory neurons transmit sensory information (e.g., touch, taste) to the brain, motor neurons control muscle movement, and interneurons relay signals between neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons work together to facilitate communication within the nervous system.
Sensory neurons receive sensory input from the environment and transmit this information to the central nervous system, while motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands. Sensory neurons have a cell body located outside the central nervous system (in the dorsal root ganglia), while motor neurons have their cell bodies located within the central nervous system (in the spinal cord or brainstem). Sensory neurons are usually unipolar, with a single process extending from the cell body, while motor neurons are typically multipolar, with multiple processes extending from the cell body.
Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). These neurons transmit information about external stimuli (such as touch, sound, and light) or internal conditions (such as pain or temperature) to the brain and spinal cord.
Motor neuron conducts impulses away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, resulting in movement or secretion.
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).
