# Which of the following part of the neuron contains the nucleus?
a. Axon.
b. Perikaryon.
c. Dendrite.
d. Myelin sheath
The correct answer is B. Perikaryon.
The axon conducts nerve impulses away from the nerve cell body.
The cell body or perikaryon contains the nucleus and the cytoplasm. (@ Peri- around, karyon- nucleus)
Dendrites receive impulses and conduct these impulses to the cell body.
Most axons outside the CNS are protected and insulated by a myelin sheath.
