What is gray matter where is it found?
Gray matter is what you call the nerve tissue in your brain because the cells are gray in color.
What makes the matter gray?
Grey matter is nerve tissue that primarily consists of nerve cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, thus having a gray appearance.
What is the term for unmyelinated nerve tissue?
Grey matter.
What is gray matter?
Gray matter and white matter are essentially the same in the brain and spinal cord. The gray matter is the part of the brain and spinal cord that initiate the firing of neurons and the white matter is basically the mode of transportation for the signal.
What is the orientation of gray and white matter in the brain?
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.
What can be defined as billions of neuroglial nerve cell bodies and unmyelinated axons?
gray matter
What is gray matter white matter how does the arrangement of gray and white matter differ in the cerebral hemispheres?
Gray matter is mainly densely packed nerve cell bodies and comprise the outer layer of the cerebrum. White matter is mainly axons surrounded by myelin and are the inner layer of the cerebrum.
What shape is gray matter?
gray matter is a central butterfly-shaped area composed of masses of short nerve fibers, inter-neurons, and motor neuron cell bodies.
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 the name of the tissue that is in the brain?
The tissues found in the brain are gray matter and white matter. The gray matter is made up of unmyelinated neurons and it is the area of nerve connections and processing. The white matter is made up of myelinated neurons that connect the regions of gray matter to each other and the rest of the body. The white matter acts as the main information path that speeds up connection between the brain and distant parts of the body.
White matter of the spinal cord?
it is the substance surrounding the gray matter. It is also composed of myelinated nerve fibers and makes up nerve pathways called tracts.
Are motor neuron cells bodies located in the gray or white matter of the spinal cord?
the white matter
