Which part of the neuron is responsible for cell metabolism?

The cell body, also known as the soma or perikaryon, is the part of the neuron responsible for cell metabolism. It contains the nucleus and organelles necessary for cellular functions, including protein synthesis and energy production.


What is the function of the cell body?

The cell body (soma) of a neuron contains the nucleus and organelles responsible for the cell's metabolic functions, such as protein synthesis and energy production. It integrates incoming signals from dendrites and generates nerve impulses that are transmitted down the axon to communicate with other neurons or effector cells.


What is the part of the neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?

The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.


What is the part of a neuron which acts as a tiny antennae and conducts signals toward the axon of that cell?

Dendrites are the part of a neuron that act as tiny antennae and receive signals from other neurons. These signals are then conducted toward the cell body and, if the signal is strong enough, passed along to the axon of the neuron.


Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?

The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
