Detailed explanation-1: -Cell body. Also known as a soma, the cell body is the core section of the neuron. The cell body contains genetic information, maintains the neuron’s structure, and provides energy to drive activities. Like other cell bodies, a neuron’s soma contains a nucleus and specialized organelles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The region of the neuron containing the nucleus is known as the cell body, soma, or perikaryon (Figure 8.2).
Detailed explanation-3: -The cell body, also called the soma, is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus. The cell body connects to the dendrites, which bring information to the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.
Detailed explanation-4: -A neuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell body or soma (see image below), which can be represented as the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively. A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells.
