The body needs to grow. We need Oxygen to get the food up to the stomach. Oxygen is like water and food to grow to get bigger.

There are three different types of neurons because each of our body systems have specific jobs to do, where the neurons can't work for each job. There are bipolar and multipolar neurons which branch out to get to other locations. There are also neurons that are directly for the brain.

Different neurons are needed to perform different functions. Unipolar neurons are used just for recieving information such in the skin. The bipolar neurons are used to relay the information throught the body like a telephone wire. Multipolar neurons are used more in the central nervous system to deal with alot of siganls to be abe to sort them apart and relay them to proper receptor.

There are three differnet types of neurons because every different body system has a different job to do than the other ones. Unipolar neurons are used to receive information and sensations like touch. Bipolar neurons relay information through the body. Multipolar neurons are used to sort out signals in the brain.
