A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These processes are projections from the neuron cell body.

These neurons are able to receive impulses from multiple neurons via dendrites. The dendrites transmit the signals through the neuron via an electrical signal that is spread down the axon. Bipolar neurons: These neurons send signals and receive information from the world
