Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The longest neuron in the human body is a somatosensory neuron with one end in a toe and the other end in the dorsal column nuclei, which can be up to 3 meters long. The other options are incorrect. Finger neurons are not the longest, the cell body of the longest neuron is not in the spinal cord, and the anterolateral system is not related to the longest neuron.
