Unipolar is more common, it's also known as clinical depression or Major Depressive Disorder. Bipolar (specifically Bipolar 1) is much more severe, although both disorders may become severe, Unipolar is still more common.

Is a bipolar stepper motor more efficient than a unipolar motor?

The efficiency of a bipolar stepper motor compared to a unipolar motor has to be determined by the individual. If you are using the motor in a high speed situation, the unipolar motor is more efficient in those situations. For lower speed situations, the bipolar stepper motor is more efficient. Unipolar motors will have less torque at lower speeds, while bipolar motors will have less torque at higher speeds. A full explanation with diagrams is available on the website: http://www.nmbtc.com/step-motors/engineering/drivers-and-winding-configuration.html

What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or 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.


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.


Why bjt is bipolar?

BJT stands for bipolar junction transistor because it is composed of two types of semiconductors (P and N-type) rather than just one type like a unipolar transistor. This allows for both electron and hole current flow in the device, giving it its bipolar characteristic.


What does nerve cells look like?

Neurons are of three types (shapes) Unipolar: they have a cell body (soma) and a single process (axon and a dentrite) Bipolar: they have a cell body and an axon and a dentrite on opposite poles. Multipolar:they have a cell body, axon and more than two dentrites.


Do people with bipolar have a fear of sexual diseases?

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.

Can puberty cause bipolar disorder?

in and of itself no. however there are somewhat more cases of bipolar disorder that appear in the years following puberty than in the years before puberty.


Is bipolar a genetic disorder?

Bipolar disorder has a genetic component - it does seem to run in families, and if you have people in your family who have bipolar disorder, you have a higher chance to have it yourself. However, there is more than just genetics causing it - scientists haven't figured out the whole think, but they know it is more than just a gene or group of genes. Some people can grow up in the same family and have the same genes, but not develop bipolar disorder.
