Sensory vs. Motor FunctionsOnline version This game is built to compare and contrast sensory neurons and motor neurons. by Emily Wright 1 These neurons are part of the afferent side of neuronal interactions Hints 1 This term means a "conduction of impulses toward a center" 2 There are an untold number of these throughout the body, including ones which are sensitive to touch, pressure, pain, joint position, chemical concentration, and light and sound waves 3 This process is used by sensory neurons, it bring impulses into the spinal cord 4 This process, used by sensory neurons, conducts impulses to the brain for central processing 5 These neurons form part of a pathway along which impulses pass from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland 6 These are specialized chemical synapses formed at the sites where the terminal branches of the axon of a motor neuron contact a target muscle cell 7 These are the intermediate structures between the central and peripheral nervous systems 8 These neurons originate in the brain stem or the spinal cord 9 These neurons lie outside the central nervous system in collections of nerve cells called autonomic ganglia
