Cheese, I think. Yeah. Cheese. You can get it at the supermarket. The call it "head cheese". Delicious.
Actually, its mostly a mass of dendritic structures of super-densely packed nerve endings that branch ever more as your brain grows. This causes the ends to kind of grow like a tree ... which is why brains get increasingly wrinkly over time.
The corpus callosum is composed of white matter.
White matter in the CNS is predominantly composed of myelinated axons.
The hippocampus is primarily composed of gray matter, which consists of cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses. White matter, on the other hand, is made up of myelinated axons.
The brainstem contains both white and gray matter. White matter is found on the inside, made up of myelinated nerve fibers, while gray matter is located on the outside and consists of nerve cell bodies.
Yes, white matter is dense in myelinated axons. White matter in the brain and spinal cord is primarily composed of nerve fibers that are encased in myelin sheaths, which give it its white color. Myelination helps to speed up the transmission of nerve impulses along these axons.

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.
myelinated axon of the neurons
The gray-white matter junction in the brain is where the gray matter (composed mainly of neuron cell bodies) transitions into white matter (composed mainly of myelinated nerve fibers). This junction is found throughout the brain, reflecting the boundary between the outer cortex and the inner white matter tracts.
The hippocampus is primarily composed of gray matter, which consists of cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses. White matter, on the other hand, is made up of myelinated axons.
gray matter is composed of neuron cells and is concentrated in the cerebral cortex and nuclei and basal ganglia. white matter is composed ofneuron processes which form tracts connecting parts of the brain with each other and with the spinal cord.
Neither. A white dwarf is composed of matter in an entirely different state called electron degenerate matter.
No, white matter is composed of myelinated axons that carry nerve signals between different parts of the brain and the spinal cord. Ganglial sheaths are part of the peripheral nervous system and surround cell bodies of neurons.
Matter is composed of Various___________?
White matter is composed of axons that are sheathed in fatty myelin, which helps to insulate and protect the axons. The myelin sheath is produced by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.
largely or entirely composed of nerve fibers and contain few or no neuronal cell bodies or dendrites.
