Multipolar/Unipolar?
|
There are several types of nerve
cells (neurons) in the nervous system. One way to classify neurons is
by the extensions (also called processes) that project out of the cell
body. Multipolar neurons have many "dendrites" that extend from the cell
body. Unipolar (or pseudounipolar) neurons have only a single extension
from the cell body (this extension branches further away from the cell
body). Can you find the unipolar neuron in this "sea" of multipolar neurons? Just CLICK on the unipolar neuron or go directly to the ANSWER. |
