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.

Why do scientists consider many factors when assigning an organism to a species?
marusya05 [52]
The reason why is a few things, first, they have to make sure that the organism is related, and that they can see that. They don't wanna assign a bird as an insect on accident, so they do tests and then determine. Second, the more factors the better, if you consider all the species in the world, and what makes them different from eachother you would have a very long list. And that is it.
I hope this helps. If you need clarity or anything just ask.
