Question

Across different types of neurons, which metric of neuronal size varies the most in absolute magnitude (e.G., in cross-sectional diameter or total length)?

Answer 1

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals between neurons occur via specialized connections called synapses. Neurons can connect to each other to form neural pathways, and neural circuits. Neurons are the primary components of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, and of the peripheral nervous system, which comprises the autonomic nervous systemand the somatic nervous system.


I hope help you

Answer 2

Across different types of neurons, total axonal length value varies most in “absolute magnitude”.  

Explanation:

Based upon the size of axons of the neuron, it is classified as:

• Unipolar
• Bipolar
• Multipolar
• Pyramidal cell

When we observe the structure of these neurons all have axons of different lengths.  Axon is the part of neuron which connects the cell body with synapses.

The axonal length value of all “types of neurons” changes due to different positioning of the cell body in neurons.
