dendrites,and(3)anaxon.
1)CELLBODY:

➢Besidesprovidingstructuralsupport,satellitecellsregulate
theexchangesofmaterialsbetweenneuronalcellbodiesand

➢Origin, location and principal functions of neuroglialcells.

•ClassificationofNeurons
Structurally,neuronsareclassifiedaccordingtothe
numberofprocessesextendingfromthecellbody
1.Multipolarneuronsusuallyhaveseveraldendrites
andoneaxon.Mostneuronsinthebrainandspinal
cordareofthistype.
2.Bipolarneuronshaveonemaindendriteandone
axon.Theyarefoundintheretinaoftheeye,inthe
innerear,andintheolfactoryareaofthebrain.
3.Unipolarneuronshavedendritesandoneaxon
thatarefusedtogethertoformacontinuousprocess
thatemergesfromthecellbody.Theseneuronsare
alsoknownaspseudounipolarneuronsbecause
theybeginintheembryoasbipolarneurons.
Duringdevelopment,thedendritesandaxonfuse
togetherandbecomeasingleprocess.
4.Anaxonicneuron:Itisatypeofneuronwherethe
differentiationofaxonfromthedendritescannotbe
done.Suchanaxonicneuronsarepresentinbrain
andretina.

Function Of Nervous Tissue
