2. (Anat.) Having but one pole or process; - - applied to those ganglionic nerve cells which have but one radiating process; -- opposed to multipolar.

Unipolar induction(Elec.), induction, as in a conducting circuit, by only one pole of a magnet. -- Unipolar stimulation(Physiol.), the simulation sometimes produced when one electrode of an induction apparatus is applied to a nerve; -- called also unipolar induction action.Du Bois-Reymond.
