SENSORY NUERONS CARRY SIGNALS
FROM THE OUTER PARTS OF THE BODY
(PERIPHERY) INTO THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM.
 ALSO CALLED UNIPOLAR NEURON

BECAUSE DENDRITES AND AXON

TERMINAL ARISES FROM SAME AXIS.
 ALSO CALLED AFFERENT NEURONS
 TRANSMIT IMPULSES FROM THE
RECEPTORS IN OUR SENSE ORGANS
(EYES,EARS,SKIN,NOSE,TONGUE AND
MUSCLES ORGAN) TO THE BRAIN
PSEUDOUNIPOLAR NEURON

 IS A SENSORY NEURON IN THE

PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
 DENDRITES AND AXON TERMINAL
ARISES FROM SAME STEM
SOMA- of the sensory neurons is present in the
dorsal root of the spinal cord. It contains the
nucleus and other cell organelles.

Axons-that arise from the soma divide into two

branches •the peripheral branch and the
central branch
CENTRAL BRANCH- extends from the soma
into the posterior horn of the spinal cord. Here,
it forms a synaptic junction with second-order
sensory neurons.
PERIPHERAL BRANCH- extends from the
soma to the receptor cells present on the
peripheral sensory organs through the spinal
nerves. Due to their morphology, these neurons
are called pseudo unipolar neurons.
