The Peripheral Nervous System

Question 8 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which statement differentiates sensory neurons and motor neurons?

Answer
A
Sensory neurons are found in the brain; motor neurons are found in the spinal column.
B
Sensory neurons carry stimuli information to the brain; motor neurons carry processed information to muscles and glands.
C
Sensory neurons process the information from the sensory organs; motor neurons process the information from the motor parts of the body, such as muscles.
D
Sensory neurons produce involuntary responses; motor neurons produce voluntary responses.

Explanation

Sensory neurons carry information from receptors toward the central nervous system, where it can be processed. Motor neurons carry commands from the central nervous system to effectors, such as muscles and glands. Therefore, the statement that sensory neurons carry stimulus information to the brain and motor neurons carry processed information to muscles and glands is correct.
