What is a "multipolar neuron"?
A multipolar neuron is a type of nerve cell that possesses multiple processes or extensions arising from its cell body. It is characterized by having one axon and multiple dendrites, which receive incoming signals from other neurons. The axon of a multipolar neuron carries the nerve impulses away from the cell body and transmits them to other neurons or effector cells. Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neurons in the nervous system and are involved in various functions, including motor control, sensory processing, and interneuronal communication.
