cyton
The soma (pl. somata or somas), perikaryon (pl. perikarya), cyton, or "cell body" is the bulbous, non-process portion of a neuron or other brain cell type, containing the cell nucleus. The word "soma" comes from the Greek σῶμα, meaning "body".
Axon
An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles, and glands.
