The Nucleus and Most of the Organelles in a Neuron

Question

The nucleus and most of the organelles in a neuron are located in the
A)dendritic region.
B)axon hillock.
C)axon.
D)cell body.
E)axon terminals.

Accepted Answer

The cell body, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus and most of the organelles in a neuron. The dendritic region extends from the cell body and receives signals from other neurons, while the axon extends from the cell body and transmits signals to other neurons. The axon hillock is the point where the axon originates from the cell body, and the axon terminals are the ends of the axon where signals are transmitted to other neurons.
