Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons gather information from the environment and convey it into the central nervous system. They do not control muscles or produce movement (that is the role of motor neurons), and they send messages toward the brain, not away from it. Myelin coverage is not a defining characteristic of sensory neurons.
