The portion of the nerve cell that includes the nucleus.
Main part of a nerve cell that contains the nucleus. The other parts are axons and dendrites.
contains the nucleus (dark structure in the cell) and other organelles.
Control centre of the neurone.
The central structure of a neuron, which contains all of the molecular parts that keep the cell alive, generate new parts, and repair or destroy existing parts.
the main portion of the nerve cell.
Part of the brain's nerve cell or neurons.
Body; the body of a neuron; also called soma.
Region of the neuron that includes the nucleus and associated intracellular organelles
The enlarged portion of a neuron containing most of the organelles. 596, 611
Part of a neuron which contains the nucleus and other organelles. Cell bodies are connected to other cell bodies by axons.
The portion of a neuron that contains the nucleus and much of the cytoplasm. Also called the soma.
The portion of the neuron containing genetic material and cellular organelles.
In a neuron, the part that contains the nucleus and most of the cytoplasm and the organelles. PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2
The main bulk of the neuron where the nucleus is found, containing the cell's DNA.
The central structure of a neuron, which contains the cell nucleus. The cell body contains the molecular machinery that regulates the activity of the neuron.
In neurons, the main part of the cell around the nucleus excluding long processes such as axons and dendrites.
Also called the soma; the part of the cell that contains the nucleus.
The portion of a nerve cell that contains the nucleus but does not incorporate the dendrites or axon.
In nerve cells, the central portion from which axons and dendrites sprout. The cell body controls the life-sustaining functions of a nerve cell.
the cell body of the neuron; it contains the nucleus.
