Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
Somatic cell.
In humans, cells that do not produce gametes are collectively called somatic cells. Somatic cells do not include sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made, and undifferentiated stem cells.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
No, telomerase is typically not active in somatic cells.
Somatic cells are not associated with meiosis. Meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells, which are responsible for producing eggs or sperm in organisms undergoing sexual reproduction. Somatic cells, on the other hand, undergo mitosis for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Somatic cells are any body cells that are not sperm or egg cells. These include skin cells, heart muscle cells, and bone cells, among many others.

Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
somatic cell
Some examples of somatic gene disorders include cancer (mutations in somatic cells leading to uncontrolled cell growth), cardiovascular diseases (genetic alterations affecting heart function), and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, caused by mutations in somatic cells).
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
No, telomerase is typically not active in somatic cells.
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
If you're not referring to the term somatic cells, I suppose they could also be known as animal cells - at least in most animals.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic cells.
