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.
The three basic parts of neurons are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons.

Nerve cell or neuron
The three main structures of a neuron are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, the dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or cells.
Nerve tissues contain specialized cells called neurons, which have various organelles including a cell body with a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and synaptic vesicles. Neurons also have unique structures like dendrites and axons that help in transmitting electrical signals.
this is not true about neurons: dendrites carry information away from the cell body
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.
Neurons, like other cells, have a cell membrane that regulates what goes in and out of the cell. They also contain organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum to perform various cellular functions. Additionally, neurons reproduce through cell division like other cells in the body.
The egg is the largest cell in the female body, and motor neurons are the largest cell in the male body.
