Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of a eukaryotic neuron, which typically consists of three main parts: dendrites, the cell body (also called soma), and the axon.
Recall that the nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material, is located in the part of the neuron responsible for maintaining cell functions and integrating signals.
Identify that dendrites are extensions that receive signals from other neurons, but they do not contain the nucleus.
Recognize that the axon is a long projection that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body, and it also does not contain the nucleus.
Conclude that the cell body (soma) is the part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and is responsible for the metabolic activities of the cell.
