Question 12

Figure 5 shows a diagram of a neurone.

Figure 5: Diagram of a neurone. On the far left, there are specialized receptor connections. A long fiber (dendron) leads from these receptors to a cell body that is located on a side branch, standing away from the main pathway. From this cell body junction, another fiber (axon) continues to the right, ending at axon terminals. Arrows indicate the direction of the electrical impulse traveling from left to right.

Name the type of neurone shown in Figure 5.
