No.
Association neurons, or interneurons, connect 2 or more neurons and therefore are bipolar or multipolar. An example is the unipolar (or pseudounipolar) sensory neuron that connects, or forms a synapse, with a dorsal horn neuron which is an interneuron that connects with another neuron in the brainstem, i.e. in the geniculate or cuneate nuclei. Interneurons provide a point where information can be modulated, i.e. a stimulus can be excited or inhibited by input from other neurons.
Unipolar neuron cell bodies are located in the dorsal root ganglia that receive afferent information from the periphery and transmit that information to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Because most authors report these neurons do not truly have only one process, but have a fused central and peripheral process, they are often referred to as pseudounipolar.

No, an association neuron (also known as an interneuron) is not unipolar. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, while association neurons have multiple processes (dendrites and axons). Association neurons are responsible for connecting sensory and motor neurons in the central nervous system.

Where is the Tigger zone on a unipolar neuron?
The "Tigger zone" in a unipolar neuron is the initial segment of the axon where action potentials are generated. Here, graded potentials from the dendrites accumulate and if they reach a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered.
Which type of cell is composed of one dendrite and one axon and is found in the eye and nose a. pseudo-unipolar neuron b. Schwann cell c. bipolar neuron d. multipolar neuron?
bipolar neuron
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The number of processes extending from the neuron's cell body determines its classification. Unipolar neurons have a single process, bipolar neurons have two processes, and multipolar neurons have multiple processes extending from the cell body.
Which of these neuron types are unipolar?
Sensory neurons are typically unipolar in structure. This means they have a single process, or neurite, that extends from the cell body and splits into two branches, one leading to the peripheral nervous system and one leading to the central nervous system.
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous?
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous system is the multipolar neuron. These neurons have many dendrites and a single axon extending from the cell body. Multipolar neurons are involved in processing and transmitting information in the brain and spinal cord.
What classified as an unipolar neuron?
Afferent
What neuron types are unipolar?
Small ones
Neuron type in dorsal ganglion?
unipolar (pseudounipolar)
Where is the Tigger zone on a unipolar neuron?

What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar multipolar?
The structure of a neuron is determined by its function and location within the nervous system. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body; bipolar neurons have two processes extending from the cell body; multipolar neurons have multiple processes extending from the cell body. The specific tasks the neuron needs to perform and its location in the nervous system dictate its structure.

Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous?
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous system is the multipolar neuron. These neurons have many dendrites and a single axon extending from the cell body. Multipolar neurons are involved in processing and transmitting information in the brain and spinal cord.
What is another word for interneuron neuron?
A synonym for interneuron is "relay neuron."
The synaptic terminal of a sensory nueron is located where?
The synaptic terminal of a sensory neuron is located either in the dorsal root ganglion (if it is a pseudo-unipolar neuron) or directly in the spinal cord (if it is a bipolar neuron). This is where the sensory neuron connects with other neurons to transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.
