Question

What job Does A Cell Body Do?

Answer 1

It produces all the proteins for the dendrites, axons and synaptic terminals and contains specialized organelles such as the mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, secretory granules, ribosomes and polysomes to provide energy and make the parts.

Answer 2

The Cell Body

The cell body, also called thesoma, is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus. The cell body connects to thedendrites, which bring information to the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons. When information is received from another neuron, the dendrites pass the signal to the cell body. The cell body then may send the information to the axon, depending on the strength of the signal.
