Non-myelinated fibers appear as thin, unmyelinated axons within bundles of nerve fibers. They lack the myelin sheath that surrounds some other nerve fibers, which gives them a more transparent or grayish appearance compared to myelinated fibers. Non-myelinated fibers are typically smaller in diameter and conduct nerve impulses more slowly than myelinated fibers.
Non-myelinated nerve fibers are nerve fibers that lack a protective myelin sheath, a fatty covering that helps speed up the transmission of nerve impulses. These fibers are slower at conducting nerve signals compared to myelinated fibers and are found in structures like pain receptors and autonomic nervous system fibers.
The funiculi contain ascending and descending nerve fibers that transmit sensory and motor information between different levels of the central nervous system.
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
The conduction speed of a nerve fiber is fastest in large myelinated fibers. This is because myelin acts as an insulator, allowing for faster propagation of the action potential by saltatory conduction in large fibers compared to small unmyelinated fibers.
it is the substance surrounding the gray matter. It is also composed of myelinated nerve fibers and makes up nerve pathways called tracts.

The funiculi contain ascending and descending nerve fibers that transmit sensory and motor information between different levels of the central nervous system.
There are ascending and descending tracts in the spinal cord. These tracts are nerve fibers bundled together. Messages going to the brain pass through the ascending tracts while messages coming from the brain pass through the descending tracts. These separate paths prevent messages from getting mixed up.
Unmyelinated nerve fibers conduct impulses more slowly than myelinated nerve fibers. Myelinated nerve fibers have a fatty substance called myelin sheath that allows for faster transmission of impulses compared to unmyelinated fibers without this sheath.

The white matter consist of myelinated nerve fibers.
Impulse transmission on an unmyelinated nerve fiber is much slower than the impulse transmission on a myelinated nerve fiber.
The conduction speed of a nerve fiber is fastest in large myelinated fibers. This is because myelin acts as an insulator, allowing for faster propagation of the action potential by saltatory conduction in large fibers compared to small unmyelinated fibers.
Unmyelinated nerve fibers are slower than myelinated nerve fibers. The fibers covered by myelin are much faster.
