Verified step by step guidance

Understand the difference between myelinated and unmyelinated axons: Myelinated axons are covered with a myelin sheath, which increases the speed of nerve impulse conduction. Unmyelinated axons lack this sheath and conduct impulses more slowly.

Identify the components of the central nervous system (CNS): The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, which contain both gray and white matter.

Differentiate between gray and white matter: Gray matter primarily consists of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, while white matter is composed mainly of myelinated axons.

Recognize the location of unmyelinated axons: Unmyelinated axons are commonly found in the gray matter of the CNS, where they are involved in processing and integrating information.

Review the options given: The correct answer is 'In the gray matter of the central nervous system,' as this is where unmyelinated axons are typically located.
