Sensory neurons, found in the PNS, receive stimuli from the internal
and external environment via sensory receptors and transmit nerve
impulses to the CNS. Interneurons, found in the CNS, receive nerve
impulses, interpret them, and send out an appropriate response via
nerve impulses to motor neurons. Motor neurons, also found in the
PNS, relay nerve impulses from the CNS to muscles and glands to
carry out the body’s response.
