Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of a neuron, which includes the cell body, dendrites, axon, and synaptic terminals.
Recognize that the cell body, also known as the soma, is the central part of the neuron.
Learn that the nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material, is located within the cell body.
Differentiate between the functions of the dendrites, axon, and synaptic terminals, which are primarily involved in transmitting signals rather than housing the nucleus.
Conclude that the nucleus is located in the cell body, as it is responsible for maintaining the neuron's health and function.
