The soma or cell body contains the nucleus of a nerve cell.
The nucleus of a nerve cell is located in the cell body, also known as the soma or perikaryon.
The component of a nerve cell that contains the nucleus is called the cell body or soma. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the genetic material, including DNA, which determines the cell's structure and function. The cell body is typically located in close proximity to the dendrites, which receive incoming signals from other nerve cells, and the axon, which transmits signals to other cells. To identify the component of a nerve cell that contains the nucleus, you can observe the structure of the cell under a microscope or refer to illustrated diagrams or textbooks that depict the different parts of a nerve cell.
