A neuron with only one projection form its body, which later splits into a functional axon and dendrite is termed:
Correct answer: C. Unipolar
- A. Bipolar
- B. Multipolar
- C. Unipolar
- D. Apolar
Explanation
Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from their cell bodies, which later branches into two processes: one acts as an axon, and the other acts as a dendrite. Unipolar neurons are typically found in sensory ganglia, where they transmit sensory information from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, a neuron with only one projection that later splits into both an axon and a dendrite would be classified as unipolar.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
