The neurons are divided into three types based on number of axon and dendrites they possess:
- Multipolar neurons have many processes with one axon and two or more dendrites. They j are mostly intemeurons.
- Bipolar neurons have two processes with one axon and one dendrite. These are found in the retina of the eye, inner ear and the olfactory area of the brain.
- Unipolar neurons have a single short process and one axon. Unipolar neurons are located in the ganglia of cranial and spinal nerves.
