What are some examples of neurons?

Aside from the types of neurons according to function mentioned, we have the types of neurons according to structure

The types of neuron according to structure are:

  • Multipolar – these are neurons having one axon and many dendrites

  • Unipolar or pseudo unipolar – these are neurons having an axon that bifurcates close to the cell body with the longer branch extending toward PNS and the other towards the CNS

  • Bipolar – neurons with one dendrite and one axon

  • Anaxonic – neurons with many dendrites but have no true axon. It does not produce action potentials but regulate electrical charges of adjacent neurons
