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.

Which of these neuron types are unipolar?
which of these neurons types is are unipolar
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous?
I know that sensory neurons are a type of nervous tissue in the nervous system.
What is the shape of the sensory neuron?
The sensory neurons in our body have different shapes but most are unipolar-shaped. Neurons can either be unipolar-, bipolar- or multiparty-shaped depending on their function.
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 location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.

What classified as an unipolar neuron?
Afferent
What neuron types are unipolar?
Small ones
What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
Neuron type in dorsal ganglion?
unipolar (pseudounipolar)
Unipolar neuron function?
The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
Neurons in the skin that are responsible for detecting pain are?
Nociceptors are the neurons in the skin that are responsible for detecting pain. They are specialized sensory receptors that respond to potentially damaging stimuli by sending signals to the brain, alerting the body to the presence of tissue-damaging stimuli like heat, pressure, or chemicals.

Is the sensory neuron multipolar?
No, they (sensory neurons) are either pseudounipolar or bipolar.To memorize, remember the word "M" for Multi-unipolar, and "M" for "Motor" (fibres).
