Neuron Multipolar

Neuron multipolar

Multipolar neuron (Latin multi - many + Greek poleo - wish singularis - single, Latin unica - single, only) - processes (axon) usually do not have more than one extended ending. This property distinguishes them from bipolar neurons, in which the process has one terminal tubercle (button) at the end, which determines the possibility of the formation of one process. Most of the fibers do not branch in all directions, but only in one direction to a specific part of the brain. But they also have synaptic contacts and participate in neurons of the multipolar type of the nervous system. As input signals, a weak impulse (action potential) is transmitted to the multipolar type of neurons, capable of causing only the voltage potential of the cell.
