Mono means one, bi means two, and multi means multiple or more than one. Therefore, the difference is the number of poles in the cell itself.

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.


The most type of neuron in the human body is?

Multipolar neurons This is the most common type of neuron, with one axon and many dendrites. Multipolar neurons are so-named because they have many (multi-) processes that extend from the cell body: lots of dendrites plus a single axon. Functionally, these neurons are either motor (conducting impulses that will cause activity such as the contraction of muscles) or association (conducting impulses and permitting 'communication' between neurons within the central nervous system).


Difference between organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis?

organogenesis: -production of UNIPOLAR structure (shoot OR root PRIMODIUM) -vascular system CONNECTED to parent tissue somatic embryogenesis: - production of BIPOLAR structure (shoot AND root axes) - vascular system NOT CONNECTED to parent tissue


What are the two types of nervous tissue?

neurons (brain cells) & neuroglia (support)---------------------------------------------------Multipolar Neurons (3+ processes) They are the most common neuron type in humans (more than 99% of neurons belong to this class) and the major neuron type in the CNS Bipolar Neurons Bipolar neurons are spindle-shaped, with a dendrite at one end and an axon at the other . An example can be found in the light-sensitive retina of the eye. Unipolar Neurons Sensory neurons have only a single process or fibre which divides close to the cell body into two main branches (axon and dendrite). Because of their structure they are often referred to as unipolar neurons.


What is the disease known as bipolar?

Bipolar disorder is generally accompanied by having severe mood swings. The two common moods exerted by someone with bipolar disorder as manic highs and crippling depression.

Neurons in which dendritic and axonal processes are continuous and the soma lies off to one side are called?

Bipolar neurons have only one axon and one dendrite with the soma between them. There are probably very few, if any, neurons that contain only a single axon and dendrite. However, the concept is useful because some neurons behave as if they only had a single axon and dendrite. These neurons, called bipolar neurons because their cell body sits in between the axon and dendrite (giving the neuron two "poles"), are abundant in the nervous system. One very important type of bipolar neuron occurs in the retina, and is responsible for how we process light at an early level.
