Select the INCORRECT statement about axon

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

A bundle of axons outside the central nervous system (CNS) is called a nerve.

A bundle of axons inside the central nervous system (CNS) is called a tract.

Therefore, the statement that a bundle of axons outside the CNS is called a tract is incorrect.

The other statements are correct characteristics of an axon: it is typically a single, long, and unbranched process arising from the axon hillock of the cyton, and it conducts impulses away from the cell body.

Answer: Bundle of axons outside the CNS is called 'tract'
