Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct location of the neuron is
A
multipolar-lower motor neuron.
B
bipolar-first order neuron of special sensory.
C
unipolar-first order neuron of general sensory.
D
multipolar-second order neuron of general sensory.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) are unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar shaped cells that conduct action potentials toward or into the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Multipolar neurons constitute the majority of neurons in the central nervous system. 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-3: -Unipolar cell bodies of sensory neurons are located within sensory ganglia which may be in the dorsal root of the spinal cord or along cranial nerves. The receptive field of the neurons limits the ability of the sensory system to relay environmental information.
