The cell bodies of multipolar neurons have three or more processes linked to them. The axon is a process that conveys electrochemical impulses (action potentials) between cells. Dendrites are the remaining processes.

Multipolar neurons’ receptive zone is made up of the cell body and dendrites. The most frequent form of neuron is the multipolar neuron. They are found in the autonomic ganglia and the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

Dendrites in multipolar neurons allow them to accept impulses from many neurons. Dendrites send messages across the neuron by an electrical signal that passes down the axon. Motor neurons feature the most common sort of nerve cell body plan: they are multipolar, having one axon and multiple dendrites.
