Neurons are classified by the?
Neurons are classified by their structure and function. Structurally, neurons can be categorized as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Functionally, neurons can be classified as excitatory or inhibitory based on the type of signals they transmit.
What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?
Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.
What anatomical characteristics determines whether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
Neurons are grouped structurally according to the number of processes extending from their cell body.
What are three type of neurons?
Sensory, Interneuron, and Motor.
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The number of processes extending from the neuron's cell body determines its classification. Unipolar neurons have a single process, bipolar neurons have two processes, and multipolar neurons have multiple processes extending from the cell body.
