Which portion of the brain is primarily responsible for transmitting the information to other parts of the nervous system?
Correct answer: A. White matter
- A. White matter
- B. Gray matter
- C. Medulla Oblongata
- D. All A, B and C
Explanation
White matter consists of myelinated nerve fibers, which act like the "wires" that transmit signals between different parts of the brain and the nervous system. It contains axons of neurons that connect various regions of the brain and relay information, facilitating communication between different areas of the central nervous system.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
