Answer to Question 1

Answer: Neural integration

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The organelles lie within the cytoplasm of the neuron. The soma organelles include:
 Ribosomes: produce proteins.
 Endoplasmic reticulum: rough ER contains the ribosomes (produces proteins). Smooth ER synthesizes lipids.
 Microtubules: responsible for transport around the interior of the neuron.
 Mitochondria: provide energy to the neuron.
 Lysosomes: degrade surplus cellular materials.
 Golgi apparatus: package the products of a secretory cell.
