8086 does not have RAM or ROM inside it. However, it has internal registers for storing intermediate and final results.
There are four base registers in the 8086/8088; Code Segment (CS), Data Segment (DS), Stack Segment (SS), and Extra Segment (ES).

8086 has four multipurpose registers. 1. AX (Accumulator Register) 2. BX (Base Register) 3. CX (Count Register) 4. DX (Data Register) By Aneeta Arshad
registers
The program counter (PC) and stack pointer (SP) registers are 16-bit registers in the 8085 and in the 8086/8088 because that is how Intel designed the processors.
All of the 8086/8088 registers, AX, BX, CX, DX, SP, BP, SI, DI, CS, DS, SS, ES, IP, and FLAGS, are 16 bit registers. The AX, BX, CX, and DX registers may also be viewed as 8 eight bit registers AH/AL, BH/BL, CH/CL, and DH/DL.
8086 has memory divided into segments.Each segment has its particular register like ES, DS, SS, CD (extra segment, data segment, stack segment and code segment).These registers hold the base address BA.Now, there two base registers(BX and BP) and two index registers(SI and DI) in 8086. These registers hols the effective address EA.Now Physical address PA is sum of EA and BA.That is,PA = BA+EA
Basically the function of execution unit in 8086 is to perform all arithmetic and logic operations.It tells the Bus Interface unit(BIU) where to fetch instructions and data from.It has 4 components:Control circuitry,ALU,Flag registers and general purpose registers. 1.control circuits-it directs all the internal operations. 2.ALU-performs all logic operations. 3.general purpose registers-used to store data during execution. 4.flag registers-it has a 16bit flag register containing 9 flags that are set for certain conditions during any operation.Ex.carry flag(whenever there is a carry). It also has a decoder to decode the fetched instructions.
It is one of 4 registers called general purpose registers Ax has a another name witch is (accumulator) it used in arithmetic and logic operation and store data from I/o port in microprocessors like 8086/8088
for dcs 8086 and 8085 are usually used as base microcontroller as these have indication flags which r signaled to registers
