The diagram below shows three different types of neurones, labelled P, Q, and R, which are involved in nervous coordination.

Three different types of neurones: P, Q, and R.

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the types of neurones and their functional or structural features?

P\text{P}P has its cell body located in the grey matter of the spinal cord, and Q\text{Q}Q is heavily myelinated to speed up transmission.

Q\text{Q}Q is a sensory neurone that connects directly to receptor cells, and R\text{R}R transmits impulses from the central nervous system to P\text{P}P.

P\text{P}P transmits impulses from sensory receptors towards the central nervous system, and R\text{R}R is a myelinated neurone that transmits impulses to effectors.

P\text{P}P is a motor neurone with its cell body in the dorsal root ganglion, and R\text{R}R is a sensory neurone with dendrites that receive impulses from relay neurones.
