Answer
A sensory neuron (also called an afferent neuron) detects stimuli and transmits the information to the CNS.
A motor neuron (also called an efferent neuron) receives signals from the CNS and send them to effectors.
An interneuron lies within the CNS. They receive signals from other neurons and carry out the integrative function of neurons.
Work Step by Step
Sensory neurons sense things and send information to the CNS (afferent from a- “toward” and fer “to carry”)
Motor neurons cause movement and receive information from the CNS (efferent from e- “out” and fer “to carry”).
Interneurons lie in between. They do all the thinking and processing of information
