[line of force] Torque
Can be considered a rotary equivalent to a force. Torque= force x moment arm. torque rotates an object around an axis of raotation. Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate the body to which it is applied.Torque is always specified with regard to the axis of rotation. It is equal to the magnitude of the component of the force lying in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, multiplied by the shortest distance between the axis and the direction of the force component. Torque is the force that affects rotational motion; the greater the torque, the greater the change in this motion. Whereas,force is the agency that alters the direction, speed, or shape that a body would exhibit in the absence of any external influence.It is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. Force is commonly explained in terms of Newton's laws of motion. All known natural forces can be traced to the fundamental interactions. Force is measured in newtons (N).

a)Sensory neurons begin with a sense organ or receptor, and carry impulses to the CNS. b)Interneurons connect other neurons together(eg. sensory and motor). They are found in the CNS. c)Motor neurons recieve impulses from the CNS and carry them to the effectors like muscles, tissues, or glands.
What is the difference between sensory, inter-, and motor neurons? Define all three.
