Are the thalamic nuclei white or gray matter?
the thalamic nuclei is made of unmyelinated axons which are gray matter
How do grey and white matter get there color?
From their content. Grey matter mainly contains cell bodies while white contains mainly axons
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex contains the bodies of neurons which appear grey (grey matter). The layer under the cortex contains myelinated axons (white matter).
What type of matter is the corpus callosum made of?
The middle of the brain, connecting the right side to the left side.
The optic nerve is composed of axons of?
ganglion cells
The interior of the is white due to the high concentration of myelin-sheathed axons?
Cerebrum
The interior of the is white due to the high concentration of myelin sheathed axons?
Cerebrum
White matter of the nervous system is composed of?
White matter in the nervous system is caused when the axons in the area are myelinated. This means that the axons have a fatty protein covering to provide insulation. The myelin sheath is composed of special cells calls Schwann Cells.
Is the myelin sheath white?
Yes. You are right. White matter of brain is mainly composed of myelin sheaths, which surround the axons and gray matter is composed of nerve cell bodies.
Is white matter dense in myelinated axons?
Yes White matter is the part of the nervous system that is dense is myelinated axons
What is white matter in the brain composed of?
largely or entirely composed of nerve fibers and contain few or no neuronal cell bodies or dendrites.
What is another name for Myelinated axons?
In preserved brains, the myelinated axons look white. Therefore, what we call "white matter" is typically made of axons.
What is knowing as white matter that wrap themselves around some axons?
Schwann cells are known as white matter that wrap themselves around some axons.
What is the white matter of the spinal cord contain?
axons
What wraps themselves around some axons forming what is known as white matter?
Schwann Cells wrap themselves around some axons forming white matter.
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.
Is the brainstem white matter or gray matter?
cortex is gray consisiting of neuron cell bodies.
