The structure that contains the cell body (soma) of a sensory nerve receiving information from the skin is called a dorsal root ganglion.

Here's why:

* Sensory neurons: These neurons are responsible for carrying information from sensory receptors (like those in the skin) to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

* Cell body (soma): This is the central part of the neuron where the nucleus and other essential organelles reside.

* Dorsal root ganglion: This is a cluster of nerve cell bodies located outside the spinal cord, within the dorsal root of a spinal nerve. The dorsal root carries sensory information to the spinal cord.

So, the pathway for sensory information from the skin is:

1. Sensory receptors in the skin are stimulated.

2. The stimulus is carried by the sensory neuron's axon to the cell body located in the dorsal root ganglion.

3. From the dorsal root ganglion, the sensory neuron's axon continues into the spinal cord to transmit the information further.
