Which Type of Neuron Has One Process That Serves as the Dendrite

Question

Which type of neuron has one process that serves as the dendrite and axon?
A) Multipolar
B) Unipolar
C) Bipolar
D) Tripolar

Accepted Answer

Multipolar have multiple dendrites and an axon that may or may not have a collateral branch. This is the most common type of neuron in the brain and spinal cord. Bipolar neurons have one dendrite and one axon. They can be found in the nasal cavity, the retina of the eye, and the inner ear. Unipolar neurons have one process that serves as dendrite and axon with the cell body pushed off to the side. These are sensory neurons out in the body located in areas such as the skin, organs, and in other areas where bipolar neurons are not present.
