The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
none
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.
No, they (sensory neurons) are either pseudounipolar or bipolar.To memorize, remember the word "M" for Multi-unipolar, and "M" for "Motor" (fibres).
Nerve cell or neuron
They are neurons with only one neurite. A neurite refers to any projection from the cell body, such as an axon or a dendrite!
The primary unit of the nervous tissue is the neuron. The function of the neuron is to transmit different signals from the nervous system to the various nerves in the body.
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.

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.
Nerve cell or neuron
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.
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
