4 Types of Neurons

Question 1

Multipolar Cells:

Answer 1

structure: MANY cell processes, ONE axon, MULTI dendrites
Function:motor neurons for voluntry/involuntarymovement

interneurons form fiber tract tat links b/w brian & spinal cord regions

Question 2

Multipolar Cells Locations:

Answer 2

cerebral cortex
cerebellar cortex
gray matter in spinal cord

Question 3

Bipolar Cells:

Answer 3

Structure: 2 cell processes, one axon, one dendrite
Function:sensroy neurons for vision, hearling, balance, smell

Question 4

Bipolar Cells Locations:

Answer 4

retina of eyes
inner ear
olfactory epithelium in nasal cavity

Question 5

Unipolar Cells:

Answer 5

Structure: one cell processes that divides into 2 branches

BOTH branches are axons

The receptive endings of peripheral branch re dendrites

Question 6

Unipolar Cells Functions:

Answer 6

Sensory neurons for general: touch. temperature, pain,

Question 7

Unipolar Cells Locations:

Answer 7

sensory ganglia for spinal nerves

most cranial nerve ganglia

Question 8

Anaxonic Cells:

Answer 8

Many cell processes, ALL are dendrites
Function: unknown
Locations: various regions of the brain

Question 9

Afferent:

Answer 9

signals travel from neurons of the body to the CNS

Question 10

Efferent:

Answer 10

Exits the CNS to go to neurons of body

Question 11

Neurolia/Glial Cells:

Answer 11

Perform a variety of functions
that protect/support neurons & other structures
small bodies & cytoplasmic processes extend from

Found in CNS & PNS
