The number of processes that extend from the cell body classifies neurons. This polarity categorization is made up of three types of neurons: multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar. A single short process develops from the cell body in unipolar neurons. It divides T-like branches into proximal and distal branches.Bipolar neurons feature two processes extending from opposite ends of the soma: an axon and a dendrite. The most common type of neuron is the multipolar neuron, which has one axon and two or more dendrites.
