D) Interneuron

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This neuron has one process with both dendritic and axonal portions, indicating that it is likely a pseudounipolar neuron. Bipolar neurons have two processes, while multipolar neurons have multiple dendritic processes and one axon. Interneurons are located entirely within the CNS and typically have short processes.
