Question

Draw labelled diagrams of Neuron.

Answer 1

Hey dear,

◆ Neurons -

• Neuron is basic functional unit of central nervous system.
• Neurons can be divided into -

1. unipolar
2. bipolar
3. multipolar
4. pseudounipolar

# Unipolar neuron -

• Unipolar neurons have only one neurite extending from their body.
• They are present in embryonic nervous tissue.

# Bipolar neuron -

• Neurons having axon at one end and dendrite at another end are called bipolar neurons.
• Bipolar neurons are present in sensory organs like cochlea, retina.

# Multipolar neurons -

• Neurons having multiple dendrites are called multipolar neurons.
• Most motor neurons in CNS are multipolar.
