What are the Sensory neurons of the PNS?

Sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are specialized neurons that transmit sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). They are responsible for detecting stimuli such as touch, temperature, pain, and special senses like vision and hearing. These neurons typically have long axons that extend from sensory receptors in the body to the spinal cord or brainstem, where they relay the information for processing and interpretation. Sensory neurons play a crucial role in how organisms perceive and interact with their environment.
