Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nerve is a bundle of axons that are coated in myelin and travel together through the body. Synaptic vesicles are small sacs within the terminal branches of axons that release neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons. Neurilemma is a thin layer of cells that surrounds and protects axons in the peripheral nervous system. Myelinated pathway refers to the presence of myelin coating around the axons, but does not specifically indicate a bundle of axons traveling together.
