The neuron cell body is called the soma.
Autonomic ganglia contain the cell bodies of motor neurons.

No, the chain ganglion contains cell bodies (soma) of autonomic motor neurons, not sensory neurons. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies located in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spinal cord.
A dorsal root ganglion is a nodule on the dorsal root of the spinal cord, and contains the cell bodies of neurons that are afferent. Afferent neurons collect sensory signals from the body and send them to various divisions of the brain.

Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and nuclei in the central nervous system. Ganglia contain the cell bodies of sensory or motor neurons, while nuclei contain cell bodies of interneurons or projection neurons.
The dorsal root ganglion contains cell bodies of sensory neurons that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system. It also contains satellite cells that provide support and nutrients to the neurons. Additionally, the dorsal root ganglion may include other cell types involved in sensory processing.
A Nissl body is a specialized structure found in neurons that is responsible for protein synthesis. These structures are especially abundant in the cell bodies of neurons and can be stained to visualize them under the microscope. Nissl bodies play a crucial role in maintaining the metabolic functions of neurons.
Cell bodies in neurons are called soma or perikaryon. They contain the nucleus and most of the organelles responsible for the cell's metabolic activities.
