One of the important and vital questions of nervous system:
what is grey and white matter ?
Before explaining this we need to know about a neuron
A neuron has two part
cell body and
processes : dendrites and an axon
if we arrange several neuron in single layer like following picture, we see cell body of neuron make a layer and processes of neuron makes a layer
Both this layer contain neuroglia and blood vessels
So, composition of grey and white matter is :

So, composition of grey and white matter is :
•Gray matter:
Neuron cell bodies
Neuroglial cells
Blood vessels
•White matter:
Processes of neuron
Neuroglial cells
Blood vessels
Location of gray
& white matter in the CNS
•Cerebrum and cerebellum ,
•Outer
gray
matter
•Inner
white
matter
•Spinal cord,
•outer
part
white matter
•Inner
gray
matter
Why location of grey and white matter differ in different parts of CNS.
