What is the job for the nucleus in a nerve cell?

It depends what part of the cell body you are talking about. The cell body of the nerve cell is the nerve cell. There is no difference between the two. Also, it depends what nerve cell you are talking about, it could be either a relay neurone, a motor neurone or a sensory neurone. The cell body of each is completely different.


Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?

A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
