Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of a neuron, which includes the cell body (soma), dendrites, axon, and synaptic terminals.
Recognize that the cell body, also known as the soma, is the central part of the neuron.
Recall that the nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material, is located within the cell body.
Differentiate between the parts of the neuron: dendrites receive signals, the axon transmits signals, and synaptic terminals are involved in signal transmission to other neurons.
Conclude that the nucleus is housed in the cell body (soma), making it the correct answer to the question.
