Question
Which of the following is located within the cell body of a neuron?Multiple choice question.A node of RanvierA nucleusAn axon terminalA myelin sheath
Solution
The correct answer is B. A nucleus. The nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material, is located within the cell body (or soma) of a neuron. The other options are parts of a neuron, but they are not located within the cell body. The Node of Ranvier (A), for example, is located along the axon of the neuron, not in the cell body. The axon terminal (C) is the endpoint of the neuron where it sends signals to other cells. The myelin sheath (D) is a protective layer that covers the axon.
