No. The functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Neurons group together to form nerves.
White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system, and it consists mostly of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another and between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. Grey matter contains neural cell bodies, unlike white matter, it does not and it mostly contains myelinated axon tracts. Tracts are bundles of fibers that connect to different parts of the central nervous system. A collection of related anatomic structures Roots receive information sent by neurons. Spinal nerves refer to a mixed of spinal nerves, which carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.

There are TONS of nerves in the head, but the main ones people are required to learn in college level anatomy courses are the 12 cranial nerves. Wikipedia has an article that lists them all and their function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves

Form and function. Demand and supply. This principle is diligently followed in anatomy and physiology.
The word arborization is a noun. The definition of the word is a structure that has a treelike structure. In anatomy, aborization is often used to described nerves.
