In the cochlear (organ responsible for hearing) and the vestibular apparatus (organ responsible for balance-sense) the sensory neuron is called a 'hair-cell'. Its name is related to the appearance of the cell, which contains hair like projections on the apical surface called 'stereocilia'.

The sensory neurons of the ear are known as hair cells. These specialized cells are responsible for converting sound waves into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Hair cells are located in the cochlea of the inner ear and play a critical role in our ability to hear.

What contains sensory neuron cell bodies?
The sensory neuron cell bodies are located in clusters called ganglia. These ganglia can be found either outside the spinal cord (dorsal root ganglia for most spinal nerves) or within the sensory organs themselves (such as in the eye or ear).
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
How does a hearing receptor stimulates a sensory neuron?
Sound waves stimulate hair cells in the inner ear, causing them to bend. This bending opens ion channels, allowing ion flow that generates an electrical signal. This signal then triggers the sensory neuron to transmit information to the brain for processing.
What lies between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron?
Between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron lies the interneuron. Interneurons communicate and process information within the central nervous system, helping to integrate and coordinate sensory inputs with appropriate motor outputs.
How are motor and sensory neurons categorized?
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What is the pathway of an impulse in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
The sensory receptor, sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector involved in a reflex form a reflex arc. This is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action in response to a stimulus without conscious thought.
What are similarities between sensory and motor neuron?
Motor neuron has got a motor.. but you have to peddle sensory neurons.
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron as?
Input is to output. Sensory neurons carry information from the environment to the central nervous system, while motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles to generate movement.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
Which type of neuron carries impulses from sense organs to the spinal cord or brain?
sensory neuron
What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
What is the name of the rare sensory neuron in the nose?
Bipolar neuron
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
What contains sensory neuron cell bodies?
The sensory neuron cell bodies are located in clusters called ganglia. These ganglia can be found either outside the spinal cord (dorsal root ganglia for most spinal nerves) or within the sensory organs themselves (such as in the eye or ear).
