A specific neuron is observed in the neural layer of the human retina. Identify the structural classification of this neuron and the correct sequence of structures through which a nerve impulse travels within it.

Options

  1. AMultipolar ; Dendrite Cell body Axon Synaptic knob
  2. BBipolar ; Dendrite Cell body Axon Synaptic knob
  3. CBipolar ; Axon Cell body Dendrite Synaptic knob
  4. DUnipolar ; Cell body Axon Synaptic knob

Correct answer

B. Bipolar ; Dendrite Cell body Axon Synaptic knob

Step-by-step solution

Neurons found in the retina of the eye are structurally classified as bipolar neurons, which possess one axon and one dendrite. The normal physiological direction of nerve impulse conduction within a single neuron is unidirectional. The impulse is received by the dendrites, travels towards the cell body (cyton), and then passes away from the cell body along the axon to the synaptic knob. Therefore, the correct classification is bipolar, and the conduction pathway is Dendrite Cell body Axon Synaptic knob. Answer: Bi
