Which nerve fibers are neural cables containing many axons that connect the CNS with muscles, glands, and sense organs?

Which nerve fibers are neural cables containing many axons that connect the CNS with muscles, glands, and sense organs?

• A. Nerves
• B. Dendrites
• C. Glial Cells
• D. Synapses

Answer: (A)

Bundles of axons that form neural cables are called nerves, and they link the brain and spinal cord to the body's muscles, glands, and sensory organs. This arrangement lets signals travel in and out of the central nervous system, enabling movement, secretion, and perception. Dendrites are the branched receiving parts of neurons that pick up signals from other neurons, not long bundles that connect CNS to the body. Glial cells support and insulate neurons but aren’t the cables themselves. Synapses are the junctions where neurons communicate with each other, not the bundles that conduct impulses along the body.
