Which of the following statements about bipolar neurons is correct?
- They are typically very long neurons, extending from the spinal cord to the toe muscles.
- They can be found in skeletal muscles and are responsible for controlling motor functions.
- They have two distinct processes: one dendritic process and one axon. (correct)
- They are the most common type of neuron in the central nervous system (CNS).
Which of the following statements accurately describes unipolar neurons?
Which of the following statements accurately describes unipolar neurons?
- They are found primarily in motor neurons that control skeletal muscles.
- They have a cell body that is located between the axon and dendrite.
- The dendrites and axon are continuous, with the cell body off to one side. (correct)

What is the primary function of anaxonic neurons?
What is the primary function of anaxonic neurons?
- To provide physical support and repair framework for the nervous tissue.
- To control skeletal muscle movements in the body.
- Their function is poorly understood, as their anatomy cannot distinguish dendrites from axons. (correct)
