What gives a multipolar neuron its name?

Neurons (or nerve cells) come in three structural types, depending on how many fibres they have: Multipolar neurons have many fibres attached to the cell body. One fibre, the axon, is longer than the others and carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body. The other fibres, called dendrites, are shorter and carry impulses to the cell body. Bipolar neurons have two fibres attached to the cell body, one denfrite and one axon. Unipolar neurons have a single fibre attached to the cell body which then branches into two. For a diagram see: http://webanatomy.net/anatomy/neuron_types.jpg


How is cell division regulated?

In body cells, cell division is regulated by a process of mitosis which have five stages called Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In mitosis, one cell becomes into two identical cells. Also in mitosis, the cells contain the same amount of genetic information (chromosomes) that its parent cell had (diploid). In order for this to happen the DNA must be replicated like in Interphase to form pairs so the can become into two identical cells. In reproductive cells, cell division is regulated by a process called meiosis which have four stages (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase) that only does two nuclear divisions. Unlike mitosis, one cell becomes four nonidentical cells. One cell has half the amount of chromosomes that the parent cell had (haploid). The reason why it has half is because humans need a maximum of 46 chromosomes. A reproductive cell must have 23 chromosomes in order to join with another reproductive cell or else the process won't work.

What happens druring mitosis?

Mitosis is the division of cells. It's when one cell becomes two, and two becomes four cells. Mitosis only occurs with body cells, not gametes/sex cells.
