Sensory neurons bring sensory impulse from sensory organs to the central nervous system, whereas motor neurons carry motor impulses from the central nervous system to specific effectors.
• Sensory neurons are situated in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal nerve, whereas motor neurons are situated in the ventral root ganglion of the spinal cord.
• Sensory neurons follow afferent pathways while motor neurons follow efferent pathways.
• An average adult has about 10 million sensory neurons and half a million of motor neurons.
• Motor neurons are multipolar, and sensory neurons are unipolar.
• Sensory neuron has afferent fiber, whereas motor neuron has efferent fiber.
• Motor neurons do not generate commands to communicate with muscles, but receive from sensory neurons.

According to their structure , following are the differences between motor and sensory neurons :
MOTOR NEURON
1. These neurons have long axon.
2. They have no receptor .
3.They have cell body terminal and dendrites .
4.Many short dendrons are present
SENSORY NEURON
1.Short axon is present .
2. They have receptor .
3.Cell body is present at the side and have no dendrites.
4. One long dendron is present .
Now , according to their function following are their differences :
MOTOR NEURON
1.They carry motor impulses from the central nervous system to other parts .
2.They have efferent fibres and pathways .
3.They are present at ventral root ganglion of the spinal cord.
4.They do not generate commands to commmunicate with musles and receive it from sensory neurons .
SENSORY NEURON
1.They bring sensory impulse from sensory organs to central nervous system .
2.They have afferent fibres and pathways .
3. They are situated in dorsal root ganglion of the central nervous system .
4.They generate commands to communicate with muscles .
