Does saltatory conduction only occur in CNS?
Saltory conduction only occurs in the myelinated axons.
Difference between optic tract and optic nerve?
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
Groups of axons and dendrites in the PNS are called?
A group of axons in the CNS is most likely referring to the tracts of neurons that are found in the spinal cord.
Are axons most located and protected within the CNS?
axons
What are axons that conduct impulses from the cerebrum to lower parts of the CNS?
Axons that conduct impulses from the cerebrum to lower parts of the central nervous system (CNS) are called descending axons. These axons transmit motor commands and information from the brain down to the spinal cord and other lower regions of the CNS. They play a crucial role in controlling voluntary movement and coordinating various bodily functions.

Myelinated regions of the CNS are referred to as?
White Matter
Are nerves more myelinated or unmyelinated in the CNS?
Nope. They can be found in the PNS as well. The myelinated ones in the CNS are made my Schwann cells. And the ones made in the PNS are made by oligodendrocytes.
How do you create myelenated neurons?
You don't, but glial cells, (oligodendrocytes in the CNS, and Schwann cells in the PNS), wrapped one after another around the axons of neurons with gaps between them called the nodes of Ravnier do create myelinated neurons.
What is mostly located and protected within the CNS?
axons
What is the bundle of axons called in the CNS?
Axons and dendrites that go to or from the same region of the body travel together in bundles, somewhat like telephone cables. A nerve is a bundle of axons and/or dendrites in the PNS. A bundle of axons and/or dendrites in the CNS is called a tract.for more info see link below
What system does White matter refer to myelinated fibers?
central nervous system (CNS)
What cell cell that myelinates and insulates axons within the CNS is the?
Oligodendrocyte
