NEET Zoology Neuron MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations about neurons is correct?
Multipolar neurons have one axon and two or more dendrites, while bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite.
Unipolar neurons are primarily found in the cerebral cortex and have multiple dendrites.
Axons transmit impulses towards the cell body, while dendrites transmit impulses away from the cell body.
Myelinated axons conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated axons due to their structure.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Multipolar neurons indeed have one axon and two or more dendrites, whereas bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite. The structure of unipolar neurons is typically found in the embryonic stage, and the axons transmit impulses away from the cell body, not towards it.
