Question
Chapter 14, Problem 3RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term white matter with the most closely related description given below:
Tracts and columns
Specific region of body surface
Cervical plexus
Motor neuron axons
Sacral plexus
Lumbar plexus
Single bundle of axons
Involuntary motor response
Loose connective tissue, adipose tissue
Pectoral girdle/upper extremity
Introduction:
The white matter is made up of unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers. It is organized and separated into six funiculi or columns. It is found in the spinal cord and the deeper parts of the brain. It is white in color due to the presence of the myelin.
