neurons Flashcards
what kind of neurons are multipolar?
motor neurons
what kind of neurones are bipolar?
neurons in the retina
what kind of neurons are unipolar?
cochlear nucleus of the brain
what kind of neurons are pseudounipolar?
sensory neurons
what is the structure of unipolar neurons?
they have no dendrites
what is the structure of bipolar neurons?
one axon and one dendrite that arise form a central body
what is the structure of multipolar neurons?
they have one axon and many dendrites
the cell body is displaced to one side of the axon
what is the structure of pseudounipolar neurons?
one axon divided into two branches
what is the structure of sensory nerves?
small axons and pseudounipolar structure
what is the structure of motor nerves?
larger axons and multipolar structure
what is the structure of intermediate neurons?
central cell body and many dendrites
where are intermediate neurons found?
CNS only
what kind of neurons are found within the PNS?
sensory and motor neurons
