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).

What is the function of dendrites in the human body?

Nerve cell bodies may have many dendrites which allows for many different paths to operate within a single nerve cell; the result is that one cell can be involved in many more neural pathways than if each nerve body only had one dendrite. Since neural pathways are the base of memory and cognition it is quite beneficial to have as many operatiing neural pathways available to us with the given amount of neurons we have.
