There are many neurons in the human brain (~ 100 billion) but glial cells outnumber neurons by 10 fold. Therefore, the most abundant cell type in our brain would be glial cells of which astrocytes (a type of glial cell) is the most numerous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron

What type of nerve cell is bipolar and unipolar?
they are mottor neurone nad sensory neurone
Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?
No, not directly. Some sensory neurons can detect the effect of a motor neuron firing.
What cell type makes up the endothelium of capillaries?
Endothelial cells also known as epithernal tissue.
What is a primary bone marrow cell type that remains actively mitotic?
The primary bone marrow cell type that remains actively mitotic is known as the hemocytoblast.Osteocytes
What is the function of leukoplasts?
A leukocyte(leucocyte, known as a white blood cell, is a type of cell of the immune system that protects against foreign material and infectious diseases. There are five different types of leukocytes that exist, but they are all produced and derived from a multipotent cell in bone marrow known as a hematopoietic cell.
What type of nerve cell is bipolar and unipolar?

What is a type of cell also known as a neurons?
A nerve cell
Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?
No, not directly. Some sensory neurons can detect the effect of a motor neuron firing.
What is the Cell type that is used for rapid communication and control?
The nerve Cell; which is also known as a neuron.
What structure do archibacteria use?
Archibacteria, also known as Archaea, is a type of bacteria whose structure lacks a cell nucleus. This type of bacteria is also missing any type of organelles within their cell walls.
What does the structure of a neuron look like?
There are three types of Neurone and a different structure for each. Each of these types has all the same part just in a different arangement. They have a part callled the Axon which is where they send their Action Potentials (impulses) down, parts called Dendrites which is the heavily branched part where they receive stimulationfrom and a part inbwetween called the Cell Body which is where the Nucleus is. We will look at them in the order they would come in a complex reflex arc. Firstly the Sensory Neurone: This type of cell has dendrites that are out on a stalk from the cell body. These dendrited are specialised to activate neurone when a specific stimulation type is present. The axon from this cell type is usually not so long as in motot neurones but substantially longer than in interneurones. The cell body sits roughyl in the middle ot the two branches (the axon and the dendrite branches). Secondly the Interneurone: This types of cell are what is mostly found in the brain. They have incredibly branched dedrites making them look very like a tree. Their axons may or may not be branched and their length OS also very variable. Finally the Motor Neurone: Here the cell body and the dendrites are very close together, infact the dendrites brach directly of from the cell body. The axon in a cell of this type is usually very long and not very branched at all. This part will be connected to another neurone to pass the singal (in the form of an action potential) on to whatever organ is to be affecteed.
What happens during phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis. It is also known as cell eating, wherein the cell ingests or engulfs large particles.
What type of cell's have a cell membrane?
All cells have a cell memebrane. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
What type of drug promotes cell growth?
Growth hormone (GH or HGH), also known as somatotropin or somatropin, promotes cell growth. It also has been used in doping to enhance athletic performance.
Which type of eukaryotic cell also has a cell wall?
A plant cell
What is the smallest functional unit of the nervous system?
Type your answer here... neuron
What cell type makes up the endothelium of capillaries?
Endothelial cells also known as epithernal tissue.
