How will a unipolar neuron recieve signal since it does not have dendrites

Open in App

Solution

Signals in the neuron travels through plasma membrane and dendrites also are cytoplasmic extention of cyton which is absent in unipolar neurons. So unipolar neurons transmit signals through its cell membrane.
