Detailed explanation-1: -The region of the neuron containing the nucleus is known as the cell body, soma, or perikaryon (Figure 8.2).
Detailed explanation-2: -Axons connect with other cells in the body including other neurons, muscle cells, and organs. These connections occur at junctions known as synapses.
Detailed explanation-3: -The soma (tree trunk) is where the nucleus lies, where the neuron’s DNA is housed, and where proteins are made to be transported throughout the axon and dendrites. There are different types of neurons, both in the brain and the spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-4: -The cell body is the largest part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and cytoplasm. The cell body is also called the soma.
Detailed explanation-5: -The cell body is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and connects to the dendrites, which bring information into the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons. The job of the cell body is to control all of the functions of the cell.
