Neurons are divided into four major types: unipolar, bipolar, multipolar, and pseudounipolar. Most sensory neurons are pseudounipolar, which means they only have one axon which is split into two branches. Pseudounipolar neurons are sensory neurons that have no dendrites, the branched axon serving both functions.

Some axons may be quite long, reaching, for example, from the spinal cord down to a toe. What is the difference between glia and neurons?Ī neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells.What is the role of bipolar neurons in the retina?.What are bipolar neurons commonly found?.What are the 3 types of axons based on their diameter?.Which axons are most sensitive to drugs?.
