Within the spinal cord, there are interneurons which link sensory and motor neurons. In some cases though, the sensory neurons synapse directly onto the motoneurons for example the Ia afferent (sensory neuron from the spinal cord) has a monosynaptic (1 synapse) connection to alpha motoneurons in the spinal cord. ChaCha on!
