Question

multiple choice question
what is the cerebral cortex?
bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system
small masses of gray matter deep within the brain
superficial gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres
bundles of axons running through the brain

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebral hemispheres. Gray matter consists of neuron cell bodies. The cerebral cortex is superficial (on the surface) gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres. A bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system is a nerve. Small masses of gray matter deep within the brain are nuclei (like basal nuclei). Bundles of axons running through the brain are tracts (white matter as axons have myelin sheaths which are white - colored).

Answer:

superficial gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres
