Gray matter Mostly cell bodies and dendrites
White matter Mostly axons covered in myelin
Cerebral cortex Gray matter on the outside of the brain
Nuclei Gray matter collections of neuron cell
bodies on the interior of the central
nervous system; share similar functions
Tracts White matter bundles of CNS axons that share a
common origin and destination
Funiculi (funiculus) groups of tracts in specific locations within the
spinal cord
Ganglia Collections of neuron cell bodies (gray matter) in
the Peripheral nervous System
Nerves Bundles of axons (white matter) in the PNS
Pathway specific, interconnected sets of nuclei +
tracts, or ganglia + nerves, which connect

nervous system to body tissues and organs
Receptors receive sensation from a part of the body
and sends the information along a sensory
pathway
motor pathway information is sent through the pathway to the
part of the body with a command
cerebrum
Meninges (of skull)
tough, fibrous opaque
tissue beneath cranium
dura mater (has 2 layers)
translucent, web-like layer of meninges
arachnoid mater
thin, shiny, delicate
innermost membrane of
pia mater the meninges (akin to
