Answer:
Soma or cell body
Explanation:
The cell body of a neuron is also called soma. Soma contains a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm. Several cellular organelles such as lysosomes, mitochondria, and a Golgi complex are present in it. The presence of free and ER bound ribosomes allows cell bodies of neurons to form proteins for growth and regeneration of the damaged axons. Therefore, cell bodies serve as metabolic centers of neurons.
Dendrites of postsynaptic neurons obtain the nerve impulse from the axon of the presynaptic neurons and deliver it to the cell body. Axon of a neuron carries the nerve signals away from the cell body towards the dendrites or the cell bodies of the other neurons.
It receives signals from from other nerve cells and transmits messages from the cell body
