What else can I help you with?
Where does the spinal cord have gray matter?
The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
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 are areas of grey matter in the spinal cord called?
Cartilage
What part of matter include the dorsal and ventral horns of the spinal cord?
grey matter
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.
What is the tissue of the brain and spinal cord containing nerve cell bodies?
It is still nerve tissue but it is what is called grey matter
Where is grey matter located in the spinal cord?
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.
What cells are in the brain?
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.
How do grey and white matter get there color?
Grey matter gets its color from the darker cell bodies and capillaries in the brain and spinal cord. White matter gets its color from the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve fibers, giving it a lighter appearance compared to grey matter.
Is grey matter a disease of the brain like alzheimers?
No, grey matter is not a disease. Grey matter refers to the part of the brain and spinal cord where nerve cell bodies are located. Alzheimer's disease, on the other hand, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects memory and cognition.
Where are the grey and white matter located in the brain?
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.
Do the spinal funiculi contain fiber tracts or neuronal cell bodies?
"The three funiculi contain many fiber tracts. Each fiber tract is composed of axons that have all similar destinations and functions."Citation:Marieb, Elaine N., Patricia Brady Wilhelm, and Jon Mallatt. Human Anatomy. Sixth Edition Media Update. San Francisco: Pearson Education Inc. , 2010. pg. 376.
