21. What are the dif- multipolar, bipolar, unipolar
ferent shapes of
neurons?
22. multipolar neu- A neuron with a single axon and multiple dendrites; is the most common type of
ron neuron in the nervous system.
23. unipolar neuron A neuron with one axon attached to its soma; the axon divides, with one branch
receiving sensory information and the other sending the information into the
central nervous system.
24. bipolar neuron a nerve cell that has a single dendrite at one end and a single axon at the other
end. Its rare and can be found in the eye and ear.
