Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of neuron is found in the eyes, ears and nose?
A
unipolar
B
multipolar
C
bipolar
D
tripolar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite extending from the cell body. Their presence in humans is limited, but they play an important role within the ears, nose, and eyes. Multipolar neurons are the most complex and commonly occurring type of neuron within the human body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bipolar neurons are relatively rare. They are sensory neurons found in olfactory epithelium, the retina of the eye, and ganglia of the vestibulocochlear nerve.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bipolar neurons are found in the retina of the eye, roof of the nasal cavity, and inner ear. They are always sensory and carry information about vision, olfaction, equilibrium, and hearing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bipolar neurons are found in retina. A retinal ganglion cell is a type of neuron located near the inner surface of the retina, inner layer of the eye. It receives visual information from photoreceptors via two intermediate neuron types-bipolar cells and retina amacrine cells.
