What does the MOTOR NEURON do?

• Alert the brain about the external and internal environment taken from one of the 5 senses

• Carry an electrical signal to a muscle, which will cause it to either contract or relax

• Carry messages from 1 part of the CNS to another

What do RELAY NEURONS do?

• Alert the brain about the external and internal environment by processing information from one of the 5 senses

• Carry an electrical to a muscle, which causes it to either contact or relax

• Carry messages from 1 part of the CNS to another and connect motor and sensory neurons
