Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor neurons are typically multipolar, while sensory neurons can be either unipolar or bipolar. Unipolar sensory neurons have a single branch that divides into a central process (which leads to the spinal cord) and a peripheral process (which extends to sensory receptors), while bipolar sensory neurons have two main branches extending from the cell body (one leading to the peripheral receptor and the other to the spinal cord). Multipolar neurons have multiple dendrites and one axon, and are the most common type of neuron in the brain and spinal cord.
