Structural and Functional Differences Between Motor and Sensory Neurons

Question

Give structural and functional differences between motor and sensory neurons.

Answer

- Structural difference: the cell body in motor neurone is terminal (at the end) and inside the central nervous system. While the cell body in sensory neuron is not terminal but has axon on both end i.e. bipolar.
- Functional difference: Motor neuron carries impulse from CNS to the effectors i.e. muscles while sensory neuron carry impulse form receptor to CNS.
