Why is the white matter of the spinal cord white?
Because it contains a lot of axons with their fatty myelin sheaths. The fat is white.
What is the process by which individual axons are insulated with fatty sheaths to enhance efficiency?
Myelination is that process.
What is the white matter of the spinal cord contain?
axons
Where are the Axons located in the spinal cord?
On the outer parts

Cause leg pain and weakness
Why are spinal nerves mixed nerves?
Spinal nerves are said to be mixes because their posterior roots contain sensory axons and their anterior roots contain motor axons.

What two cells form the insulating sheaths around axons?
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes
What absent in the gray matter of the spinal cord?
myelinated axons
Gray matter in the spinal cord is mostly?
unmyelinated axons.
Does oligodendrocytes serve the same purpose in the central nervous and periphial nervous system?
No, they form myelin sheaths on axons in the CNS while schwann cells form myelin sheaths in the PNS. Hope this answers your question.

Oligodendrocyte; processes of the oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths around the CNS nerve fibers
