They include motor neurons and interneurons /relaying neurons are most commonly found in the cortex of the brain and the spinal cord. Peripherally, multipolar neurons are found in autonomic ganglia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most neurons in the central nervous systems of vertebrates, including mammals, are multipolar. In multipolar neurons, multiple processes extend from the cell body including dendrites and axons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motor neurons have the most common type of ‘body plan’ for a nerve cell-they are multipolar, each with one axon and several dendrites.
