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."
axons
Yes nerve is an organ of nervous system ., Each nerve is a cordlike structure that contains many axons. These axons are often referred to as 'fibres'. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium. The axons are bundled together into groups called fascicles, and each fascicle is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium. Finally, the entire nerve is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the epineurium.
i have the same crossword right in front of me! its demyelinated
the axons of the retina culminate in the optic nerve which forms a blind spot on the retina

the part of the spinal cord that contains mylinated axons is the White matter portion.
axons
Nerve impulse is an electrical current, which flows across the axons. So most of the neurons are surrounded by myelin sheath. This sheath gives insulation to the axons. Brain can not function without this insulation.
a nerve is bundled together by neuron fibers. The CELL BODY OF A NERVE or neuron is surrounded by satellite cells.

Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
Axons from the olfactory nerve project directly to the
In preserved brains, the myelinated axons look white. Therefore, what we call "white matter" is typically made of axons.
NERVES
The fat coating around the dendrites and axons is to insulate them.
