A multipolar neuron is characterized by having multiple processes extending from its cell body. Specifically:
- **Axons**: A multipolar neuron typically has one axon.
- **Dendrites**: It has multiple dendrites, which can vary in number but generally allows for a high degree of integration of synaptic inputs from other neurons.
This structure is common in many types of neurons in the central nervous system, particularly in the brain and spinal cord, where it facilitates complex signaling and communication between neurons.
