Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the site of injury (in this case, the ankle) to the central nervous system, which then interprets the signals as pain. The myelin sheath is a layer of insulation around some neurons, but it does not transmit pain signals. Interneurons and motor neurons are involved in transmitting signals within the central nervous system and between the nervous system and muscles, respectively, but they are not directly involved in transmitting pain signals from the site of injury.
