Multiple branches leave the cell body of a Multipolar Neuron. The many dendrites of the multipolar neuron allow for extensive integration of information coming from many other neurons. The axons of such neurons are usually long in length, allowing this integrated information to affect distant regions of the nervous system. The majority of neurons have multiple branches from the cell body.
