What are the whitish cords made up of bundles of nerve fibers that are held together by connective tissues, through which impulses are transmitted?

Axons
Dendrites
Nerves
Spinal cords

The correct answer is: Axons

Axons are the correct answer because they are the whitish cords that are made up of bundles of nerve fibers held together by connective tissues. Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the nerve cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. The other options are not correct because: - Dendrites are branches of nerve cells that receive impulses from other neurons. - Nerves are a collection of axons bundled together outside the central nervous system. - The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extend from the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column.
