Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting information about sensory stimuli (in this case, sound waves) to the brain for processing. In Ashley's case, her ability to hear the music is dependent on her sensory neurons picking up the sound waves produced by her cello and transmitting that information to her brain. Motor neurons are responsible for controlling movement, excitatory neurons stimulate other neurons to fire, and interneurons act as intermediaries between other neurons.
