Quizplus · Accepted Answer

White matter is composed of myelinated axons and is found in the central nervous system. It can be found in various locations such as the corpus callosum and corticospinal tracts (B and C). However, the cerebral cortex (A) is primarily composed of gray matter, which contains the cell bodies of neurons rather than axons. Additionally, while white matter is found in the spinal cord, it is located in the inner portion, not the outer portion (D).
