Difference Between Sensory & Motor Neurons ?
Sensory NeuronMotor NeuronNeurons that carry sensory impulse from sensory organs to the central nervous system are known as sensory neuronsA neuron that carries motor impulses from the central nervous system to specific effectors is known as motor neurons.They are located in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal nerveThey are located in the ventral root ganglion of the spinal cord.It is unipolarIt is multipolarComprises of a short axonComprises of a long axonAn adult has an average of 10 million sensory nerves in the bodyHalf million of motor neurons are found in the bodyFound in eyes, skin, ears, tongue and noseFound in muscles and glands
