An axon is a nerve fibre, "a single process extending from the cell body of a neurone and carrying nerve impulses away from it".
A nerve bundle is made up of hundreds or thousands of axons. A good factsheet can be found at www.ivy-rose.co.uk/Topics/Neurons.htm
motor and sensor fibers
The muscle spindle helps to control the contraction of muscles. It is a special sensory organ that uses sensory neuronal fibers to find how long the intrafusal muscle fibers are.

grey and white. White matter of the spinal cord is composed of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers that allow communication between different parts of the spinal cord and between the cord and brain. Gray matter in the spinal cord looks like the letter H or a butterfly.
The ascending tracts (upward) contain sensory nerves, that pass sensory information from the body to the brain. The descending tracts (downward) contain motor nerves that activate the muscles in the body according to the brain's "commands".
