MCCANCE AND HUETHER’S
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM SCRIPT FINAL
PAPER 2026 COMPLETE SOLVED
QUESTIONS ACADEMIC INSIGHT TOOLKIT

◉ unipolar
Answer: neurons have one process that branches shortly after
leaving the cell body.


◉ pseudounipolar
Answer: neurons that have one process that has its dendritic portion
extending away from the CNS and its axon portion projecting into
the CNS
-typical of sensory neurons in cranial and spinal nerves


◉ bipolar
Answer: neurons that have two distinct processes arising from the
cell body; example: neuron connecting rod and cone cells of the
retina


◉ multipolar

, Answer: neurons that are the most common and have multiple
dendrites and a single axon; example: most motor neurons


◉ sensory
Answer: neurons that carry im,pulses from peripheral sensory
receptors to the CNS


◉ interneurons
Answer: transmit impulses from neuron to neuron and are also
involved in cognitive function


◉ motor
Answer: neurons that transmit impulses away from the CNS to an
effector organ


◉ neuroglia
Answer: most numerous type of CNS cell


◉ astrocyte
Answer: a neuroglial cell that fills spaces between neurons and
surrounds blood vessels in the CNS


◉ oligodendrocyte
