Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term ganglia refers to collections of nerve cell bodies outside the central nervous system, typically found along the path of a nerve. Nuclei refer to collections of nerve cell bodies within the central nervous system. Nerves are bundles of axons (nerve fibers) that transmit signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. Tracts are bundles of axons within the central nervous system that transmit signals between different regions of the brain or spinal cord.
