Carry messages from
sensory receptors
to the
Central Nervous System
(brain and spinal cord)
Sensory receptors
are found in various locations (e.g.:
eyes
,
ears
,
tongue
,
skin
)
Sensory neurons
convert information from receptors into
neural impulses
·
When the
impulses
arrive in the brain they are translated into
sensations
, so the brain can act appropriately
· However, some
sensory neurons
terminate at the
spinal cord
– this allows reflex actions to occur '
