Which type of cell is composed of one dendrite and one axon and is found in the eye and nose a. pseudo-unipolar neuron b. Schwann cell c. bipolar neuron d. multipolar neuron?
bipolar neuron
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.
Which of these neuron types are unipolar?
Sensory neurons are typically unipolar in structure. This means they have a single process, or neurite, that extends from the cell body and splits into two branches, one leading to the peripheral nervous system and one leading to the central nervous system.
Is a association neuron unipolar?
No.Association neurons, or interneurons, connect 2 or more neurons and therefore are bipolar or multipolar. An example is the unipolar (or pseudounipolar) sensory neuron that connects, or forms a synapse, with a dorsal horn neuron which is an interneuron that connects with another neuron in the brainstem, i.e. in the geniculate or cuneate nuclei. Interneurons provide a point where information can be modulated, i.e. a stimulus can be excited or inhibited by input from other neurons.Unipolar neuron cell bodies are located in the dorsal root ganglia that receive afferent information from the periphery and transmit that information to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Because most authors report these neurons do not truly have only one process, but have a fused central and peripheral process, they are often referred to as pseudounipolar.
The synaptic terminal of a sensory nueron is located where?
The synaptic terminal of a sensory neuron is located either in the dorsal root ganglion (if it is a pseudo-unipolar neuron) or directly in the spinal cord (if it is a bipolar neuron). This is where the sensory neuron connects with other neurons to transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.
What classified as an unipolar neuron?
Afferent
What neuron types are unipolar?
Small ones
Neuron type in dorsal ganglion?
unipolar (pseudounipolar)
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.

What is the input zone of a motor neuron?
dendrites
The synaptic terminal of a sensory nueron is located where?
The synaptic terminal of a sensory neuron is located either in the dorsal root ganglion (if it is a pseudo-unipolar neuron) or directly in the spinal cord (if it is a bipolar neuron). This is where the sensory neuron connects with other neurons to transmit sensory information to the central nervous system.
Do unipolar neurons have a single short process that is an axon?
A unipolar neuron has a single process that extends from the cell body and divides into two branches, with one branch acting as an axon and the other as a dendrite. This structure is common in sensory neurons found in the peripheral nervous system.
Unipolar neuron function?
Unipolar neurons are sensory neurons with a single process extending from the cell body. This process splits into two branches, one traveling peripheral organs to detect stimuli and the other transmitting signals to the central nervous system. They play a crucial role in detecting sensory information and relaying it for processing in the brain.
