PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The region of the neuron containing the nucleus is known as the cell body, soma, or perikaryon (Figure 8.2). The cell body is the metabolic center of the neuron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, each nerve cell has a cell body containing a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and other organelles that are essential to the function of all cells (Figure 1.3).

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is present in the cyton part of the nerve cell. Cyton is a large part of the fiber of a nerve, or neuron. It is concerned with the regulation of a neuron’s maximum metabolism.
