Bipolar Nervous Cells are involved with stimulus and sense control. They are specialized for sensory transmission through two processes, hence "Bi"polar. They have one axon and one dendrite that extend the cell body in order to receive signals. Dendrites can stretch up to 1 m through the body creating very sensitive nerves. These cells are eukaryotic and also have a very high metabolism, and therefore have a high demand for oxygen and glucose. Bipolar Neurons make up nervous tissue which is in charge of control throughout the body. They are highly specialized cells and are different from other cells with axons and dendrites.
They are very long and skinny cells that do not reproduce like epithelial cells do. The peripheral and central nervous systems receive signals from these cells to pass on information such as touch, pain, heat, hearing and vision to different sensory cells. Examples of the nervous cells are those in the retina of the eye, or epithelial.
