The combining form "polio" comes from the Greek word "polios," meaning "gray." In medical terminology, it is often associated with conditions related to gray matter, such as in "poliomyelitis," which refers to the inflammation of the gray matter of the spinal cord, leading to paralysis.
poliomyel (meaning the gray matter of the spinal cord). -itis is the suffix meaning inflammation.
gray matter is composed of neuron cells and is concentrated in the cerebral cortex and nuclei and basal ganglia. white matter is composed ofneuron processes which form tracts connecting parts of the brain with each other and with the spinal cord.
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.
nerves in your body transmit the info to your brain but many other systems are involved in the process. But that's the main one.
That would be gray matter.

Gray Matter
The spinal cord consists of both gray and white matter, where gray matter forms an H-shaped structure at the center, containing neuronal cell bodies, while white matter surrounds it, consisting of myelinated axons organized into tracts. The spinal cord is segmented into regions corresponding to spinal nerves that emerge from it via dorsal and ventral roots; the dorsal roots carry sensory information, and the ventral roots transmit motor signals. Spinal nerves, formed by the fusion of these roots, exit the vertebral column to innervate various body regions. The tracts within the white matter are responsible for ascending sensory and descending motor pathways, facilitating communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
