Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unipolar neurons, which are most commonly found in the PNS and typically function as sensory neurons, often appear as round cells without visible processes when viewed under a microscope. This is because their single process, which divides into peripheral and central branches, may not be visible in certain microscopic views.
