Question

Discuss the structural classification of neurons and identify anatomical features of a neuron.

A) Unipolar, Bipolar, Multipolar; Dendrites, Axon, Soma
B) Sensory, Motor, Interneuron; Myelin, Nodes of Ranvier, Synapse
C) Afferent, Efferent, Mixed; Nucleus, Ganglion, Tract
D) Excitatory, Inhibitory, Mixed; Terminal bouton, Synaptic vesicles, Synaptic cleft

Answer 1

Neurons are classified into four basic types: unipolar, bipolar, multipolar, and pseudounipolar. Anatomical features of a neuron include dendrites, axon, and soma.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neurons are classified into four basic types: unipolar, bipolar, multipolar, and pseudounipolar. Unipolar neurons have only one structure extending away from the soma. Bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite extending from the soma. Multipolar neurons have one axon and multiple dendrites. Pseudounipolar cells have a single process that later branches into two distinct structures. Anatomical features of a neuron include dendrites, axon, and soma.
