Loss of dendritic branches on _______ would be expected to impair the ability to sense temperature and touch.
A) bipolar neurons
B) multipolar neurons
C) unipolar neurons
D) apolar neurons
E) motor neurons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unipolar neurons have a single process emerging from the cell body that divides into two branches - one going towards the periphery and the other towards the central nervous system. These neurons are typically sensory neurons that are responsible for transmitting information about touch and temperature from the periphery to the central nervous system. Loss of dendritic branches in unipolar neurons would impair their ability to sense temperature and touch.
