Identify the differences between motor and sensory neurons in terms of features and function.

Motor neurons have a cell body, short dendrites and a long axon. Their function is to conduct impulses to an effector (muscle or gland).Sensory neurons, on the other hand, have a cell body, long dendrites and a short axon. Their function is to conduct impulses to the Central Nervous System.
