Question

Unipolar neurons have a single process that extends from the soma, which then branches into two directions: one part acting as an axon and the other as a dendrite. This structure is typically seen in sensory neurons, where the soma lies off to the main path of signal transmission, allowing for a more direct route from sensory receptors to the spinal cord.
