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.
which of these neurons types is are unipolar
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.

Small ones
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.
unipolar (pseudounipolar)
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.
bipolar neuron
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
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.
