The soma (pl. somata or somas ), or cyton or perikaryon (pl. perikarya ), is the bulbous end of a neuron, containing the cell nucleus. The word soma is Greek, meaning "body"; the soma of...

The energy for this and other cellular activities is supplied by ATP (= adensosine triphosphate) made by mitochondria. Narrow strands of protein, called neurofilaments (or intermediate filaments), move and support the shape of the cell body and other parts of the neuron...

The convulsant drug pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) eliminates the axon spike of the neuron within 1-5 min after its application while epileptic activity is induced in the soma of the same neuron for hours. It is interesting that almost all nerve activity in the peripheral nerve is blocked by PTZ.

These results suggest that the cell bodies of putative cutaneous nociceptors in the intact ganglia contribute minimally to pain and hyperalgesia associated with persistent inflammation. PERSPECTIVE: Results of the present study suggest that inflammation-induced changes in afferent somata are minimal.

One way to classify neurons is by the number of extensions that extend from the neuron's cell body (soma). ... Multipolar neurons have many processes that extend from the cell body. However, each neuron has only one axon (examples: spinal motor neurons, pyramidal neurons, Purkinje cells).

Neurons are stellate cells with projections extending from the cell body. The projections come into contact with other neurons or outside the CNS, with other cell types such as muscle. There are many types of neuron based on the size and shape of the cell body and the arrangement of the processes.
