The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
The spinal cord is mainly white, with a grey, butterfly shaped area of grey at its center.

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.
It is still nerve tissue but it is what is called grey matter
It isn't. while there may gooey grey fleshy mass in the spine it is not THE grey matter. Our Brains and all the their mass is located inside the skull only.
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.
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.
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.
Synapses are seen more in grey matter because dendrites meet with axonites in grey matter and dendrite is a part of grey matter.
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.
