The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron.
The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
What else can I help you with?
What contains sensory neuron cell bodies?
The sensory neuron cell bodies are located in clusters called ganglia. These ganglia can be found either outside the spinal cord (dorsal root ganglia for most spinal nerves) or within the sensory organs themselves (such as in the eye or ear).
Where is the nucleus located in the neuron?
The nucleus of a neuron is typically located in the cell body, also known as the soma. It is located towards the center of the neuron, where it functions to control the activities of the cell and contains the genetic material needed for cellular functioning.
Where are located peripheral motor neuron cell bodies?
For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.
Does dendrites contain nissl bodies?
Yes, dendrites contain Nissl bodies. Nissl bodies, also called Nissl substance or Nissl granules, are rough endoplasmic reticulum in the neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. They are responsible for protein synthesis in the neuron.
Where are large groups of neuron cell bodies likely to be found?
dorsal root ganglion
Where are the cell bodies for the second order neurons located?
Second order neuron cell bodies reside in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Are motor neuron cell bodies located in the gray or white matter?

What structure contains cell bodies of neurons?
The neuron cell body is called the soma.
Collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the PNS?
Ganglia
What are collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the PN?
Ganglia
What is gray matters composed of?
cell body of neurons
Where are large groups of neuron cell bodies found?
Large groups of neuron cell bodies are found in structures called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and nuclei in the central nervous system. Ganglia are clusters of cell bodies outside the brain and spinal cord, whereas nuclei are centralized collections of cell bodies within the brain.
