Neuronal morphology - Types

4 important questions on Neuronal morphology - Types

What is the function of a multipolar neuron and where are they located?

They get signals from different regions and combines them. The majority of these neurons are located in the CNS.

What is the function of bipolar neurons?

Bipolar neurons get information from one side and sends it out to the other side, for example from the sensory organs in the PNS to the CNS. 

What is the function of unipolar neurons?

This is also a sensory neuron. This neuron has dendrites in the PNS and at the other end the axon forms a synaptic connection with the target in the CNS.

What is the function of anaxonic neurons?

These neurons don’t really have axons and for what’s is known now is that the modulates the excitability of other neurons, but there is still a lot unknown.
