NEETZoologyNeural Control and Coordination
What are the three types of neurons?
Options
- AMultipolar, bipolar, and unipolar
- BMyelinated, nonmyelinated, and unmyelinated
- CCytoplasm, dendrites, and axon
- DNodes of Ranvier, Schwann cells, and myelin sheath
Correct answer
A. Multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar
Step-by-step solution
The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and is the site of information processing and control.The afferent nerve fibres transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS.The efferent nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organs Based on the number of axons and dendrites, neurons are divided into three types: multipolar (with one axon and two or more dendrites), bipolar (with one axon and one dendrite), and unipolar (cell body with one axon only).
