Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons have the most common type of ‘body plan’ for a nerve cell-they are multipolar, each with one axon and several dendrites.
Detailed explanation-2: -Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neuron. Each multipolar neuron contains one axon and multiple dendrites.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are multipolar neurons? 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-4: -Although unipolar and bipolar neurons are present in the nervous system, most neurons are multipolar. Neurons have a long cell process called an axon. This can extend for many centimeters. Axons transmit impulses to other neurons.
