The soma, or perikaryon, is the bulbous end of a neuron, containing the cell nucleus.
The word soma is Greek, meaning "body"; the soma of a neuron is often called the "cell body".
A current theory of how such survival signals are sent from axon endings to the soma includes the idea that NGF receptors are endocytosed from the surface of axon tips and that such endocytotic vesicles are transported up the axon.

 Somatics Library: What is Somatics? Part II
Biology is misleading unless it views individual life forms against the surrounding relativistic cosmos out of which they arose and with which they must constantly pattern their activities.
Somas are not “bodies”; rather, they are processes of patterned movements which deceive the third-person observer with the appearance of being substantial structured bodies because of the constancy of these movement patterns.
Somas were inevitable because the seeds of their possibility were implanted in the original core of the cosmos, and the expansion and differentiation of the cosmos would inevitably produce that combination of factors which would bring this seed to life.

Biology is the branch of science dealing with the study of life.
Biology encompasses a broad spectrum of academic fields that are often viewed as independent disciplines.
All concepts in biology are subject to the same laws that other branches of science obey, such as the laws of thermodynamics and conservation of mass.

Soma saw that his friends were staring up at the civil servant's welding mask head, gaping openmouthed as it turned a spigot at the top of a tree and lit the gas with a flick of its tongue.
Soma was tempted to show the Detective the artistic licenses tattooed around his wrists in delicate salmon inks, to remind the intelligence which authorities had purview over which aspects of civic life, but bit his tongue, fearful of a For-the-Safety-of-the-Public proscription.
Soma was too far gone in the paste to hold both of the threats in his mind at the same time.

The soma is distinguished from the germline by a high degree of soma-biased gene expression.
In agreement with the scatterplot analysis, the heat map indicates that the main batteries of differentially expressed genes distinguish the soma from the germline, and the female germline from the male germline.
A major difference between the germline and soma is the absence of gene expression from loci encoding terminal differentiation proteins (for specific adult somatic structures such as eyes and muscles) in the germline.

 Axon Summary
At this synapse, the nerve impulse may be passed on to another neuron's soma, or to a muscle cell.
When an axon in the body is injured, but its soma remains intact, it is sometimes possible for the soma to grow a new axon.
An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma.

 The Evolutionary Theory of Aging and Life History Theory
Weismann's ideas were later comprised by Thomas Kirkwood to become the "disposable soma theory," which states that organisms must reach a balance between the resources they invest in soma maintenance and reproduction (Kirkwood, 1977).
The disposable soma theory predicts that aging occurs due to the accumulation of damage during life and that multiple defensive or repair mechanisms contribute to aging (Kirkwood and Austad, 2000).
One of the most intriguing phenotypes in the biology of aging are animals that appear not to age, as previously mentioned.

Note that a rod does not have an axon and so does not fire action potentials –– the passive signal is enough to cause synaptic transmission since the distance from the outer segment to the synapse is so small.

It is noteworthy that the germ line of egg and sperm has been maintained alive and safe from senescence and oxidative decay for over a billion years.
Because multicellular organisms are able to reproduce with germ-line cells before senescence of the soma incapacitates them, there was never any evolutionary impetus to develop biochemical mechanisms of preventing senescence in their postmitotic cells.

Qualitative shifts in response (spiking vs. bursting) were sensitive to the dendritic path length from the tips to the soma and the change in branch diameter as a function of the distance from the soma.
Neurobiologists have known for decades that to understand the computational properties of a neural system, it is necessary to understand the relationships between the physiological properties of individual neurons and their anatomical structures.
