The white matter is located on the outside of the gray matter in the spinal cord.
The white matter is located on the outer part of the spinal cord.
The white matter of the spinal cord appears white because it is made up of nerve fibers covered in a fatty substance called myelin. This myelin gives the nerve fibers a white color, hence the name "white 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.
The white matter of the spinal cord appears white due to the myelin sheaths surrounding the axons of neurons. Myelin is a fatty substance that acts as an insulator, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses. The high lipid content of myelin gives the white matter its color.
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.
The white matter is located on the outer part of the spinal cord.

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,
The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.

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.
A horn is the gray matter of the spinal cord, and a column consist of white matter.
