polio
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.
Myelinated nerves are white, and composes the white matter of the brain and spinal cord they also are able to pass an action potential down an axon much faster; Unmyelinated nerves are gray, and composes the gray matter of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves transmit signals much slower
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.
