Are Interneurons Unipolar Bipolar or Multipolar?

In addition, the axon of an interneuron is very short like its dendrites. Some interneurons receive information back from the same adjacent neurons that they affect; this reciprocal communication underlies the rich integration conducted by interneurons. The majority of neurons are multipolar interneurons.

Are interneurons bipolar or unipolar?

Almost all sensory neurons are unipolar. Motor, or efferent neurons transmit information away from the CNS toward some type of effector. Motor neurons are typically multipolar. Interneurons are located between motor and sensory pathways and are highly involved in signal integration.

Is interneuron bipolar or multipolar?

As well as transferring signals between sensory and motor neurons, interneurons can also communicate with each other, forming circuits of various complexity. They are multipolar, just like motor neurons.
