In which of the following neurons length of dendrite is greater than axon_______________?

Correct answer: A. Sensory neuron

  • A. Sensory neuron
  • B. Motor neuron
  • C. Associative neuron
  • D. none of these.

Explanation

In the school-level classification used here, a sensory neuron's dendron is longer than its axon because the receptor may be far from the cell body, while the axon carries the impulse onward to the CNS. The common error is choosing a motor neuron by assuming its longest process must be a dendrite, although its long process is usually the axon.
