Describe three differences between a motor neurone and a sensory neurone.
A motor neurone has no or a very short dendron whereas a sensory neurone has a long dendron. A sensory neurone's cell body is found 'in the middle' of the neurone whereas a motor neurone's cell body is found at the end of the neurone in the CNS (central nervous system). A sensory neurone has a short axon whereas a motor neurone has a relatively long axon.
