It receives impulses from other neurons, and then sends those nerve impulses to the body of the cell, where they are added together at the axon hillock, and if they provide a sufficient strength (voltage, potential), an action potential will fire in the output of the neuron, the axon.

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.
