Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) are unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar shaped cells that conduct action potentials toward or into the central nervous system. They carry somatic nervous system signals from the skin, joints, skeletal muscles, sensory organs (eyes, ears, mouth, and nose). They also carry autonomic nerous system signals from the visceral organs (heart, lungs, vessels, etc).
They follow ascending, or afferent pathways, so called â afferent neurons â. The cell body of the sensory neurons is located in the peripheral sensory ganglia, in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons are unipolar neurons with afferent fibers, which extend between sensory receptors and central nervous system.ensory vs Motor Neurons. Neurons are the functional and structural units of vertebrate nervous system. They make the communication network of the nervous system and transfer impulses between sensory organs, and central and peripheral nervous systems.
