Animation: Types of Neurons

Neurons have diverse shapes and sizes. Scientists are still trying to determine the best way to classify them, but we can try to describe their shape or “cellular morphology” by where the axon and dendrites are located in respect to the cell body. The three major neuron types based on structural morphologies are Multipolar, Bipolar, Unipolar or Monopolar. Watch the video below on the classification of neurons.
