Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting information from the sensory organs (such as the eyes, ears, and skin) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Motor neurons, on the other hand, transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands, while interneurons are neurons that connect other neurons within the central nervous system. Reflexes are rapid, automatic responses to a stimulus that involve sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.
