Transcribed Image Text:**Differences Between Neuron Types:**
1. **Sensory vs. Motor Neurons:**
- **Sensory Neurons:** These neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system. They help in conveying external stimuli related to touch, pain, temperature, and other sensations.
- **Motor Neurons:** These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands. They are crucial for initiating motor functions and responses.
2. **Somatic vs. Autonomic Neurons:**
- **Somatic Neurons:** These neurons are involved in voluntary movements. They connect the central nervous system to skeletal muscles.
- **Autonomic Neurons:** These neurons control involuntary functions and connect the central nervous system to internal organs and glands. They are essential for regulating bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration without conscious effort.
