(B) Bipolar neurons have one axon and two or more dendrites and are found in the retina of the eye. (C) Multipolar neurons are found in the cerebral cortex. (D) Schwann cells form a myelin sheath around the axon in all types of nerve fibres. (E) The synaptic kno

Correct answer
A. Three
Step-by-step solution
Statement (A) is correct as unipolar neurons have a cell body with one axon only and are found in the embryonic stage. Statement (B) is incorrect because bipolar neurons have one axon and exactly one dendrite, not two or more dendrites. Statement (C) is correct as multipolar neurons (one axon and two or more dendrites) are found in the cerebral cortex. Statement (D) is incorrect because while Schwann cells enclose unmyelinated nerve fibres as well, they do not form a myelin sheath around the axon in unmyelinated ne
