Not true. There are organelles like mitochondria, vesicles in the axoplasm in the axon.

∙ 11y agoNo, neurons have organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus distributed throughout the cell, including the axon and dendrites. However, certain organelles like the nucleus and ribosomes are mostly concentrated in the cell body.
Cell bodies in neurons are called soma or perikaryon. They contain the nucleus and most of the organelles responsible for the cell's metabolic activities.

Cell body (soma): Contains the nucleus and organelles necessary for normal cell function. Dendrites: Branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. Axon: Long, slender projection that carries electrical signals away from the cell body to communicate with other neurons or muscle cells.
Neurons share similarities with other cells in that they have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and organelles like mitochondria and ribosomes. They also have a nucleus that contains genetic material. However, neurons have unique structures like dendrites and axons that enable them to transmit electrical signals and communicate with other neurons.
Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body in a neuron. Dendrites receive incoming signals and pass them on to the cell body for further processing.
Some important organelles in an animal cell include the nucleus (containing genetic material), mitochondria (producing energy), endoplasmic reticulum (involved in protein synthesis), Golgi apparatus (modifying and packaging proteins), lysosomes (breaking down waste), and cytoskeleton (providing structure and support).

The unique structure of a neuron is optimized to allow it to transfer information intracellularly from one part of the cell to another and intercellularly between cells. The three structural elements unique to neurons are the axon, which is used for intracellular information transfer, the dendrite, which is the site often used to receive information from other neurons, and the synapse, which allow them to transmit signals to other neurons in the organism.[2] Neurons also contain a cell body or soma which contains the cell nucleus and other organelles which are required for normal cell functioning.
this is not true about neurons: dendrites carry information away from the cell body

The egg is the largest cell in the female body, and motor neurons are the largest cell in the male body.
Neurons
Dendrites are branch-like structures that extend from the cell body of a neuron. They are responsible for receiving signals from other neurons and transmitting those signals to the cell body for processing. Dendrites are covered in synapses, which are the points of connection between neurons where information is passed along.

The cell body of a neuron contains the nucleus and organelles involved in protein synthesis and metabolism. It integrates incoming signals from dendrites and generates electrical signals known as action potentials that travel along the axon to communicate with other neurons or cells.
Neurons with two processes are classified as bipolar neurons.
