The Most Common Type of Neuron in the Human Body

Question

The most common type of neuron in the human body is:
A)pseudounipolar.
B)unipolar.
C)multipolar.
D)bipolar.

Accepted Answer

Multipolar neurons have multiple dendrites and a single axon, and are the most common type of neuron in the human body. Pseudounipolar neurons have a single branch that splits into two processes, while bipolar neurons have two processes extending from opposite ends of the cell body. Unipolar neurons are a variant of pseudounipolar neurons where the dendrite and axon are fused.
