Answer: Bundles of axons in the central nervous system are called a "tract"

Explanation:

Axons(nerve fiber) consist of long slender projection of neurons or nerve cells that conduct and transmit impulses away from the neuron or nerve cell body. Axons are surrounded by endoneurium layer which contain protein fluid that surround each axon.

Bundles of axon in the CNS is known as tract. We have ascending tracts and descending tracts. The ascending tracts function are to conduct and carry impulses along the spinal cord to the brain while the descending tracts transmit and carry the impulses from the brain to lower regions (downward) of the body. Tracts are identified by their origin (where the bundle start) and also the end/termination of axon bundle.

The largest tracts are fasciculi gracilis and cuneatus which are known as ascending tracts.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The basis for the inverse relationship between number of matured HDL in circulation and and cardiovascular disease is that when new HDL entertainment circulation they mature by picking up extra cholesterol until they become mature and high cholesterol level is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The implication of this is that the more the number of matured HDL in circulation, the lower the cholesterol level in the blood thus the lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.
