What are Multipolar neurons,Bipolar neurons and Unipolar neurons
Neurons are the nerve cells which helps to transmit the information throughout the body. There are three types of neurons:
1) Unipolar neuron:
Unipolar neuron is the neuron which results due to the fusion of two polar processes emitting a single axonal process. It has only one process that arises from the main portion of the cell, or cell body. The most common type of unipolar neuron is sensory neurons.
2) Bipolar neuron:
Bipolar neurons are those nerve cells which consists of two cell processes that arise from the cell body. One of these serve as dendrite and other as axon. They are found in specialized organs like eyes etc.
3) Multipolar neurons:
Multipolar neurons are those nerve cells which consists of a single axon but contains many dendrites. They constitute the majority of neurons present in the brain and central nervous system.
