What else can I help you with?
Do the pyramids consist of gray or white matter?
The pyramids are made of limestone blocks with a white exterior. Over time, the blocks have weathered and appear more gray in certain areas.
Would you expect synapses to occur in grey matter or in white matter?
Synapses are seen more in grey matter because dendrites meet with axonites in grey matter and dendrite is a part of grey matter.
Where is White matter in the brain?
Grey matter is on the surface of the brain - it is the computing side. White matter is in the cenre of the brain it is the wires that join the computers.
White matter is found in?
In your brain surrounded by grey matter
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.
Where is white and grey matter located?
White matter is mainly located in the inner part of the brain, while grey matter is found on the outer layer of the brain. White matter consists of axons that connect different parts of the brain, while grey matter contains cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses involved in information processing.
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.
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 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.
How do you account for difference grey matter white matter?
Grey matter consists of neuronal cell bodies and plays a role in information processing, while white matter consists of myelinated axons that help in transmitting signals between different parts of the brain. Differences in grey and white matter distribution contribute to various cognitive functions and can impact how the brain processes and communicates information. Studying these differences can help understand brain function and connectivity in healthy and diseased conditions.
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.
Does the cortex of the cerebellum consist of gray or white matter?
Yes. Your cerebellum is actually made up of very tightly folded outer layer of grey matter, and you can find the white matter lies underneath it.
