The H-shaped grey matter of the spinal cord contains motor neurons that control movement, smaller interneurons that handle communication within and between the segments of the spinal cord, and cells that receive sensory signals and then send information up to centers in the brain.

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.
Where does the spinal cord have gray matter?
The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
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 part of the spinal cord contains neurons?
Motor neurons are located in the gray matter of the brain, and their axons stretch out to the spinal cord through the ventral root. they are located in the Ventral horn of the spinal cord,
Why is the white matter of the spinal cord white?
Because it contains a lot of axons with their fatty myelin sheaths. The fat is white.
The gray matter of the spinal cord?
Is located within the spinal cord and contains unmyelinated fibers.
Are motor neuron cells bodies located in the gray or white matter of the spinal cord?
the white matter
In the spinal cord which is deep to the other the white or gray matter?
in the spinal cord which is deeper to the other, the white matter or gray matter? how does this compare to the distrubution in the brain
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 is the difference between a horn and a column in the spinal cord?
A horn is the gray matter of the spinal cord, and a column consist of white matter.
What is the white matter of the spinal cord contain?
axons
Where are myelinated neurons especially abundant?
white matter in the brain and the white matter in the spinal cord.
