It does the functions of a cell such as endocytosis, exocytosis. It also contains all the regular organelles of an animal cell. Mitosis will make ATP in order for the cell to conduct electricity and other active transporting.
This means that all the somatic motor pathways involve a single motor neuron whose axon stretches from the cell body in CBS all the way to the effector unrepeated by that neuron.
neuron
It varies slightly with the type of nerve cell, but it is around -70 mV.

A neuron or a nerve cell, carries electrical impulses. Relay neurons carry messages from one part of the central nervous system to another.
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
The cell body is the main part of the neuron. It maintains the health of the neuron.
Nerve cell or neuron
cell body
A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon.
in your body!
The soma
dendrite
cell body XD
The extensions of the neuron cell body (soma) are called dendrites. Refer to the related link below for an illustration of a neuron.
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
The neuron cell body or soma is responsible for the nutrition and maintenance of of its peripheral parts such as the dendrites and axon. This makes the distances about equal from the center.
