Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The following statements are associated with the cytology of a neuron:
A
A bipolar neuron has two neurites originating together in the cell body.
B
Nissl granules are found in the axon of a neuron.
C
A unipolar neuron is one with a single neurite that divides a short distance from the cell body into two branches ____
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The exchange of neurotransmitter between specialized regions of two cells is termed synaptic transmission. The synapse is the cytological device through which neurons communicate with each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons, or afferent neurons transmit information from sensory receptors in the skin, or the internal organs toward the CNS for processing. Almost all sensory neurons are unipolar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unipolar neurons lack dendrites. They have a cell body with only one axon.
