Answer:

Grey matter is distinguished from white matter in that it contains numerous cell bodies and relatively few myelinated axons, while white matter contains relatively few cell bodies and is composed chiefly of long-range myelinated axons. The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin.

Differences between Gray and White Matter?

\huge\red{</strong><strong>answer</strong><strong>}

What is gray matter?

Gray matter consists primarily of neuronal cell bodies, or soma. This a spherical structure that houses the neuron’s nucleus.

What is white matter?

White matter areas of the brain mainly consist of myelinated axons, which are long relays that extend out from the soma, and which are whiteish in color due to the relatively high lipid fat content of the myelin protein that sheathes them, These form connections between brain cells, and white matter is typically distributed into bundles called tracts.
