Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell body, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus of the neuron, which houses the genetic information. The cell body is shaped roughly like a sphere or pyramid. The axon is a long, thin projection that carries signals away from the cell body. Dendrites are shorter, branching projections that receive signals from other neurons. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons but do not contain a nucleus.
