a type of neuron that sends information from the sensory receptors towards the central nervous system

Answer 1

The type of neuron that sends information from the sensory receptors towards the central nervous system is called a sensory neuron (or afferent neuron). These neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information, such as touch, pain, temperature, and taste, from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord.
