Which structural classification describes a neuron with one axon and one dendrite extending from opposite ends of the cell body?
A
Multipolar neuron
B
Unipolar neuron
C
Bipolar neuron
D
Anaxonic neuron
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structural classification of neurons, which is based on the number of processes (axons and dendrites) extending from the cell body.
Recall that a multipolar neuron has one axon and multiple dendrites, making it unsuitable for the description provided in the problem.
Recognize that a unipolar neuron has a single process that splits into two branches, which does not match the description of one axon and one dendrite extending from opposite ends of the cell body.
Learn that a bipolar neuron has exactly one axon and one dendrite extending from opposite ends of the cell body, fitting the description provided in the problem.
Note that an anaxonic neuron lacks a distinct axon, making it incompatible with the description of one axon and one dendrite.
