Neuron processes running through the CNS form tracts of white matter; in the PNS they form the peripheral nerves.

What is the difference between a nerve dendrite and a nerve axon structurally?

The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.


What are the longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord compise major nerve pathways called?

The longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord that comprise major nerve pathways are called tracts. These tracts are organized based on their function and transmit information to and from different regions of the body to the brain.


Does the stimulation of a nerve occur in the tract?

No, the actual stimulation of a nerve occurs at the level of the nerve itself, such as at the cell body or along the axon. Nerves are made up of bundles of axons that transmit signals to and from the brain or spinal cord to different parts of the body. Tracts, on the other hand, refer to bundles of axons within the central nervous system that carry specific types of information between different regions of the brain or spinal cord.


Is an axon larger than a nerve?

No, an axon is a part of a nerve cell and is smaller than a nerve, which is a bundle of axons.


What tissue has an axon?

Axons are part of nerve tissue, which is found within the nervous system. Nerve tissue is composed of neurons that contain axons for carrying nerve impulses.


Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds each axon in a nerve?

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium.


What are the major nerve pathways that are compromised by the longitudinal bundles of nerve fibers within the spinal cord called?

I do not know find out on your own use you brain!


What are nerve axon tracks made of?

The axons of nerve cells are surrounded by myelin sheeths - a protective covering that allows for saltatory conduction down the axons, increasing speed and decreasing loss of signal. Axons make up the tissue known as "white matter."


Axon is what?

An axon (or axone) is a nerve fibre which is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of the cell to a synapse.


Do nerves contain axons?

Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.


What is the location of the perineurium connective tissue covering?

The perineurium connective tissue covers and encapsulates bundles of nerve fibers called fascicles within a nerve. It is located between the endoneurium (which surrounds individual nerve fibers) and the epineurium (which surrounds the entire nerve).


What does the nerve cell include?

The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
