Question

multiple choice question
which of the following describes white matter?
o cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses with relatively little myelin involved with processing information
o bundles of nerve fibers that travel up and down the spinal cord, between one region of the brain and another, or between the brain and spinal cord
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

White matter consists of myelinated nerve fibers (axons). These bundles of nerve fibers are responsible for communication between different regions of the central nervous system (CNS). They can travel up and down the spinal cord, between brain regions, or between the brain and spinal cord. The first option describes gray matter (which has cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses with less myelin and is involved in information - processing).

Answer:

bundles of nerve fibers that travel up and down the spinal cord, between one region of the brain and another, or between the brain and spinal cord
