Question

Based on which of the following, the neurons are divided into three major types?

(a) Based on the size of neurons

(b) Based on the length of neurons

(c) Based on the number of axons and dendrites

(d) Based on the power of their division

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

Question is taken from Human Neural System topic in division Neural Control and Coordination of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Based on the number of axons and dendrites

To elaborate: Based on the number of axons and dendrites, the neurons are divided into three major types:

i. Multipolar neurons-with one axon and two or more dendrites

ii. Bipolar-with one axon and one Dendrite

iii. Unipolar-cell body with one axon only.
