Question

Since Jerry's accident, he has had no sensations in his injured leg. Based on the functional classifications of neurons, what type of neuron suffered damage

Answer 1

Sensory neuron

Step-by-step explanation:

There are the major classifications to neurons - sensory, motor and inter relay.

All these neurons helps in the relay of signals from the environment to the CNS where these signals are interrupted and actions are Carrie out. The sensory neurons begins this order and help in the relay of sensation from external stimuli.

Thus since Jerry has no sensations in his injured legs, it means he is unable to detect or feel external stimuli/or there is a damage to the sensory neurons in the region of his legs which prevents the relay of information to the CNS.
