Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endoneurium is a protective layer of connective tissue that surrounds the individual axons in a nerve bundle. Both myelinated and unmyelinated axons are surrounded by endoneurium, so choice D is the correct answer. Dendrites, on the other hand, are not wrapped in endoneurium as they are part of the cell body and do not extend as far as axons do. Therefore, choice C is incorrect.
