The Central Nervous System is almost all ____
A
Unpolar
B
Bipolar
C
Multipolar
D
Unipolar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neurons in the human body. They are present throughout a person’s CNS, including the brain and associated nerves in the autonomic nervous system. A multipolar neuron has the highest number of structures extending from the cell body.

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: -Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neuron. Each multipolar neuron contains one axon and multiple dendrites. Multipolar neurons can be found in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The Purkinje cell, a multipolar neuron in the cerebellum, has many branching dendrites, but only one axon.
