Regions of the CNS with an Abundance of Myelinated Axons

Question

Regions of the CNS with an abundance of myelinated axons constitute the ________ matter.
A) gray
B) white
C) neural
D) brain
E) ganglion

Accepted Answer

Regions of the CNS with an abundance of myelinated axons form the white matter. The myelin sheath, which is formed by oligodendrocytes in the CNS, gives the white matter its white appearance. The gray matter of the CNS contains more nerve cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons.
