The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the groups of axons in the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Axons**: - Axons are long, slender projections of neurons that transmit electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. They are often referred to as nerve fibers. 2. **Identifying Groups of Axons**: - In the context of the nervous system, axons can be grouped together. The terminology for these groups differs between the CNS and PNS. 3. **CNS Terminology**: - In the Central Nervous System (CNS), a group of axons is called a **tract**. Tracts are bundles of axons that run together in the brain and spinal cord. 4. **PNS Terminology**: - In the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), a group of axons is referred to as a **nerve**. Nerves are the peripheral counterparts to tracts and carry signals to and from the CNS. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that in the CNS, groups of axons are called **tracts**, and in the PNS, they are called **nerves**. ### Conclusion: The answer to the question is: - In the CNS: **Tracts** - In the PNS: **Nerves**
