Bipolar neuron

Bipolar neurons in the adult are found in organs of special sense, such as the cochlea of the inner ear, shown here.  A dendrite originates in the organ of Corti (receptor for hearing) and extends to the cell body of a bipolar neuron in the spiral ganglion.  From the opposite pole of that cell body, an axon emerges to form the cochlear division of cranial nerve VIII.  200x
