Solution
Neurons:
Neurons are nerve cells that send and receive nerve impulses between the brain and the rest of the body.
A neuron is made up of a cell body with branched dendrites (signal receivers) and an axon that carries the nerve signal.
The nucleus is found in the cell body of neurons, which is also known as neurocyton or perikaryon.
Perikaryon refers to the cell body of a neuron.
Many organelles can be found in the soma of a neuron, including Nissl's granules, which are primarily made up of endoplasmic reticulum and flexible polyribosomes.
The nucleus of the cell is an important element of the soma.
