The soma is the cell body of the neuron that contains the nucleus and much of the other 'life' of the neuron. Dendrites and axons reach out from the soma to connect with other neurons.
15. Nervous System: Autonomic Nervous System I. Comparison of the Somatic and Autonomic Nervous Systems The somatic nervous system is fairly straightforward. It consists of somatic motor neurons with bodies located in the brain or spinal cord and axons that extend through cranial or spinalnerves. The axons of somatic motor neurons synapse with skeletal muscles. All somatic motorneurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) from their synaptic knobs. ACh isalways excitatory at synapses with skeletal muscle fibers; a synapse between a motor neuron anda muscle fiber is called a neuromuscular junction.
