Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
The soma
The soma, also known as the cell body, is located in the center of a neuron. It contains the nucleus and other organelles essential for the neuron's function.
This type of neuron is called a unipolar neuron. It is typically found in the peripheral nervous system and is involved in transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system. The single process that extends from the soma branches into a central and peripheral process, with the central process connecting to the cell body.

This is called the 'soma'
Soma
A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon. The sensory nerve cells receiving information from the skin are pseudounipolar cells having two axon. One axon extends centrally towards the spinal cord and the other axon extends towards the skin. The soma of these nerve cells having neurofilaments of specialized proteins receive sensory information through electric and chemical signals called neurotransmitters.A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon.

Dendrites are the part of the neuron specialized to receive information from other neurons and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
The dendrites receive the data or signal from another neuron for the soma.
