cell body XD
A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon.
While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.
The cell body houses the nucleus.Cell body
While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.

The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
in your body!
The soma
Depolarization in a hair cell is triggered by mechanical stimulation, such as sound waves or movement, while depolarization in a typical neuron is triggered by chemical signals.
The cell body (soma) of a neuron houses the nucleus, which contains the genetic material of the cell necessary for its functioning.
A (proto)typical neuron contains three parts: a cell body, an axon, and a tree of dendrites. The cell body is also called the soma, which comes from the Latin for "body". Among many important tasks, the cell body houses the nucleus and most of the other cytoplasmic organelles. For this reason, yet another name for the cell body is the perikaryon, which comes from the Greek for "around the nut", where "nut" refers to the nucleus; thus the cell body is the thing that surrounds the nucleus.The nucleus is present in the cyton, or main body of the neuron.Soma or the cell body
