Which relatively rare type of neuron has two processes extending from opposite sides of the cell body?
A) bipolar
B) multipolar
C) pseudounipolar
D) unipolar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bipolar neurons have two processes extending from opposite sides of the cell body, while unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, and multipolar neurons have multiple processes extending from the cell body. Pseudounipolar neurons have a single process that splits into two branches, but these branches are connected to the cell body by a short stem, rather than extending directly from the cell body itself. Therefore, the correct choice is A) bipolar.
