What Is White Matter In The Brain? - Simply Psychology White matter in the brain and spinal cord is primarily composed of myelinated axons These axons are nerve fibers that transmit electrical signals between neurons The “white” appearance comes from the myelin sheath, a fatty insulating layer that surrounds the axons
White matter - Wikipedia White matter is the tissue through which messages pass between different areas of grey matter within the central nervous system The white matter is white because of the fatty substance (myelin) that surrounds the nerve fibers (axons)
10. 4C: Gray and White Matter - Medicine LibreTexts Gray matter is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies and other cells such as glia and dendrites The white matter is composed of bundles of myelinated axons (few cell bodies) that connect various grey matter regions
White matter: Anatomy and function | Kenhub White matter refers to an area of tissue within the central nervous system that contains mainly myelinated axons Find out more about its anatomy at Kenhub!
White Matter - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics White matter is composed of myelinated axons in brain tissue—rendered white on gross pathologic section by the high lipid content of the myelin sheath Recall from our earlier discussion of Hounsfield units that lower density on CT means a darker color—low-density fat appears a darker gray than does higher-density water
What makes up the gray and the white matter in the central nervous system? The central nervous system (CNS) contains two main types of tissue: gray matter and white matter Gray matter is made up of neuron cell bodies, dendrites, unmyelinated axons, glial cells, and capillaries In contrast, white matter contains myelinated axons and some glial cells
Neurohistology 2 - (01 30 25) Flashcards | Quizlet ______________ is composed mostly of myelinated nerve fibers, along with some unmyelinated nerve fibers and neuroglial cells; its white color results from the abundance of myelin surrounding the axons
