Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

White matter in the CNS is made up of myelinated axons that travel together to form tracts or pathways. It is responsible for transmitting nerve signals between different parts of the brain and spinal cord. Aggregations of neuron cell bodies are found in gray matter, which is located on the outer layer of the brain and the inner layer of the spinal cord. Dendrites are extensions of neurons that receive signals and are not typically found traveling together in the ANS.
