Question

which structural type of neuron is the most abundant in the central nervous system?
a) unipolar
b) pseudounipolar
c) bipolar
d) multipolar

Explanation:

• Unipolar neurons are rare in humans.
• Pseudounipolar neurons are mainly found in sensory ganglia of the peripheral nervous system.
• Bipolar neurons are present in specific sensory organs like the retina and olfactory epithelium.
• Multipolar neurons have multiple dendrites and one axon. They are the most abundant in the central nervous system (CNS) as they are involved in motor control, inter - neuron communication within the CNS.

Answer:

d) Multipolar
