There are two major types of tissues in the brain, nerve cell bodies and nerve tracts. The tracts are myleinated which is relatively fatty tissue and is white. The nerve cell bodies however are gray because of their concentration of mitochondria and the close proximity to blood vessels.

Do you lose brain cells if you sleep with your head under the blanket?
no cause the brain is at rest!! sleeping does not require effort that brain cells will work!
What is responsible for forming gray matter in the brain and white matter in the brain?
Gray matter in the brain forms primarily due to the clustering of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. It contains the bodies and processes of neurons, as well as glial cells. White matter, on the other hand, is formed by bundles of myelinated nerve fibers called axons. It provides connectivity between different regions of the brain, allowing for communication and transmission of electrical signals.
How fast does do brain cells regrow?
Brain cells cannot be regrown nor do they regenearate. So its important to keep the ones that you have. The brain consists of neurons and glial cells.

Why is brain called gray matter?
Brain tissue is called gray matter because it is gray.
Does a gray whale have a brain?

What makes up the gray matter of the brain?
The cell bodies of neurons, primarily. Although there may be supporting cells called glial cells and small blood vessels called capillaries. This is as opposed to white matter which contains mainly myelinated axons and does not contain the cell bodies of neurons.
What is Gray matter on the surface of cerebral hemisphere?
Grey matter is the neural cells of the brain. White matter is the axon fat which surrounds the nerves in sheaths for protection. Grey matter can also be spelt Gray matter and the name comes from the simple appearance and the colour of the brain's lobes.
Exercise and sport how does this help your brain?
It creates new neurons and new cells. It can help you sleep you can recall memories without confusing them it increases brain volume and gray matter it increases blood flow

Brain cells.
Who compose the brain?
The brain consists of gray matter (40%) and white matter (60%) contained within the skull. Brain cells include neurons and glial cells.The brain has three main parts: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem (medulla).
Are there cells in the brain?
Yes. They are called, ironically, brain cells.
What is the cells that take up half the brain?
Brain cells!

Neurons are brain cells
