Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of a unipolar neuron: Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body, which divides into two branches. One branch functions as a dendrite and the other as an axon.

Identify the function of dendrites: Dendrites are responsible for receiving signals from sensory receptors or other neurons and transmitting this information to the cell body.

Recognize the role of sensory neurons: Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system. They are often associated with unipolar neurons.

Differentiate between neuron types: Efferent neurons (motor neurons) carry signals away from the central nervous system to effectors like muscles and glands. Interneurons connect neurons within the central nervous system. Sensory neurons carry signals toward the central nervous system.

Conclude that dendrites of unipolar neurons are part of sensory neurons, as they are involved in transmitting sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system.
