Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neuron in the vertebrate nervous system. They have a single axon and multiple dendrites, allowing them to receive input from multiple sources and transmit output to multiple targets. Unipolar neurons have only one process that splits into two branches, while bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite. Interneurons are a type of multipolar neuron but are not the most common type of neuron in the nervous system.
