Understand the basic function of neurons: Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the body. They can be classified based on the direction in which they transmit impulses.
Identify the types of neurons: There are three main types of neurons - sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.
Define sensory neurons: Sensory neurons are responsible for carrying impulses from sensory receptors (like those in the skin, eyes, ears) towards the central nervous system (CNS).
Differentiate between the types: Interneurons are found within the CNS and process information, while motor neurons carry impulses away from the CNS to effectors like muscles and glands.
Conclude the role of sensory neurons: Since the problem asks for the type of neuron that transmits impulses from sensory receptors to the CNS, the correct answer is sensory neuron.
