A neuron with one axon and one dendrite, found in the retina of the eye, is
Amultipolar
Bunipolar
Capolar
Dbipolar
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. bipolar
1. Neurons are divided into three types by the number of processes.
2. Multipolar neurons have one axon and two or more dendrites, found in the cerebral cortex.
3. Bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite, found in the retina of the eye.
4. Unipolar neurons have a cell body with one axon only, found usually in the embryonic stage.
5. So the retinal type described here is bipolar.
