Answer:

SOMA

Explanation:

The nervous system is made up of specialized cells which are the fundamental units of the system called NEURONS. The neurons send and receive input in form of electrical signals. Each of the neuron has a cell body, a dendrite and an axon in its structure. The cell body is referred to as SOMA. It is the part of the neuron (nerve cell) that houses the DNA-containing nucleus. The other two structures that make each neuron which function to bring information to the neuron (dendrite) and pass information to other neurons (axon) are attached to the Soma.

Asides the nucleus, the Soma also constitutes all other organnelles that can be found in other cells, which allows the neuron (nerve cell) to function optimally e.g. ribosomes for protein synthesis, mitochondria for energy production etc. Hence, the SOMA or cell body, because of the various organnelles or structures it harbors within itself, ensures that components required for the proper functioning of the neuron are synthesized.

How does the cell theory describe the levels of organization of living organisms ???
Burka [1]
<span>It took over 200 years for the "cell theory" to be formalized and accepted. Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were early microscopist's.... but at the time the nature of matter, the belief in spontaneous generation, and the idea there were little worlds within little worlds ad infinitinum was popular. The discovery of the periodic table and establishment that atoms were real, the demolishing of spontaneous generation, all happened at the time that Schwann and Schleiden (and others) were working with better microscopes, better ideas about the material world, and better observations...... thus the cell theory.
