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.
Area of spinal cord that contains nerve fibers surrounded by myelin sheath?
the part of the spinal cord that contains mylinated axons is the White matter portion.
What does the white matter in the brain do?
No, the white matter in brain tissue is the area of brain tissue that contains the nerve fibre tracts with their covering of myelin which appears white.
How is gray matter different from white matter?
White matter consists of neurons that have axons coated in something called myelin, which allows the neuron to fire faster. Gray matter consists of neurons that are not protected by myelin, and fire slower than myelinated neurons.
What are inhibor substances surrounding the myofilaments?
what is an area of gray matter in the spinal cord
What color is a spinal cord?
The spinal cord is mainly white, with a grey, butterfly shaped area of grey at its center.
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)
Function of white matter in the brain?
The white matter is the area of the brain where signals travel to other parts of the brain. It is located in the subcortical area.
What is ventral subarachnoid?
It is the area between the pia matter and the arachnoid membrane of the brain. The pia matter is part of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The arachnoid membrane is the inner layer of three layers that surround the brain and spinal cord.
If the area that contains matter is called space then what is the area beyond space where no matter yet exist called?
Purely imaginary. There is no such location; it cannot have a name.
What is a wet land area that contains decomposed plants matter?
