Where does the spinal cord have gray matter?
The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
What are areas of grey matter in the spinal cord called?
Cartilage
What kind of matter do you have in your spinal cord?
grey and white. White matter of the spinal cord is composed of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers that allow communication between different parts of the spinal cord and between the cord and brain. Gray matter in the spinal cord looks like the letter H or a butterfly.
What part of matter include the dorsal and ventral horns of the spinal cord?
grey matter
What is the different between white matter and grey matter?
grey matter- the centre area of the spinal cord that contains cell bodies, their axons and their dendrites. white matter- the outer layer of the spinal cord that contains only myelin coated axons.
What is the tissue of the brain and spinal cord containing nerve cell bodies?
It is still nerve tissue but it is what is called grey matter
What color is a spinal cord?
The spinal cord is mainly white, with a grey, butterfly shaped area of grey at its center.
What is nucleus Z?
located in the medulla oblongata of the brainstem as an area of grey matter that will link the somatosensory info coming in from the spinal cord with the motor areas of the thalamus ( ventral lateral part) using whit matter fiber tracts.
What cells are in the brain?
There are two tissues that makes up the brain and the spinal cord. These are called the grey matter and the white matter. Grey matter is what covers about a half an inch of the brain. White matter is what makes up everything else of the brain.
Where are the grey and white matter located in the brain?
To oversimplify it significantly with an analogy, the grey matter is data processing neurons and the white matter is the myelin insulated cabling axons of those neurons that interconnects them to exchange data. Myelin is fatty, giving the white color to the white matter.
Some of brain structures consist of gray or white matter what are they?
White matter is found in the inside of the brain and the spinal cord. Grey matter is found in most parts of the brain including the cerebellum and brain stem.
How does the arrangement of white matter and gray matter differ in the spinal cord and the brain?
Gray matter in the cerebrum is located in the cerebral cortex and in the deeper basal nuclei, and the white matter lies deep to the neural cortex and around the basal nuclei (Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, Martini & Nath, 2009, p. 480).The central area of the spinal cord is gray matter, and the outer surface of much of the brain consist of gray matter called cortex. (Anatomy and Physiology, Seeley Stephens Tate, 2008, p. 382)
