Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleus of a typical nerve cell is found in the cell body. The cell body is also known as the soma and it contains the nucleus along with other organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum. The dendrites and axons extend from the cell body, but do not contain a nucleus. Synaptic terminals are the ends of axons where neurotransmitters are released to communicate with other cells, and are also devoid of a nucleus.
