The cell body (soma) is the factory of the neuron. It produces all the proteins for the dendrites, axons and synaptic terminals and contains specialized organelles such as the mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, secretory granules, ribosomes and polysomes to provide energy and make the parts, as well as a production line to assemble the parts into completed products.

What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?

motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop
