Unipolar neurons are found in ganglion outside the CNS.
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous system is the multipolar neuron. These neurons have many dendrites and a single axon extending from the cell body. Multipolar neurons are involved in processing and transmitting information in the brain and spinal cord.
Biopolar multipolar unipolar
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.
The three types of neurons based on the organization of their processes are unipolar, bipolar, and multipolar neurons. Unipolar neurons have a single process that extends from the cell body, typically functioning as sensory neurons. Bipolar neurons possess two processes, one axon and one dendrite, and are often found in sensory systems like the retina. Multipolar neurons, the most common type, have multiple dendrites and one axon, primarily serving as motor neurons and interneurons in the central nervous system.
The giant multipolar neuron helps to coordinate movement and maintain muscle tone in invertebrates. It plays a key role in the coordination of activities within the nervous system and the conduction of nerve impulses along its large axon.
Motor neurons and intern neurons
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).
Unipolar, multipolar and pseudo-unipolar
The most common type of neuron found in the central nervous system is the multipolar neuron. These neurons have many dendrites and a single axon extending from the cell body. Multipolar neurons are involved in processing and transmitting information in the brain and spinal cord.

Giant multipolar neurons, often found in the motor cortex and spinal cord, are characterized by their large cell bodies and extensive dendritic trees, allowing them to integrate signals from multiple sources and control large muscle groups. In contrast, spinal multipolar neurons, typically located in the spinal cord, are generally smaller and primarily involved in local circuit functions, facilitating reflex actions and processing sensory information. While both types of neurons have multiple dendrites and a single axon, their size, location, and functional roles differ significantly.
