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.

The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin.Gray matter also contains:

Axon tracts

Glial cells

Capillary blood vessels

Neuropil – a mix of dendrites, unmyelinated axons, and glia

White matter also contains:

Oligodendrocytes – glial cells which produce myelin

Astrocytes

Both gray and white matter are spread throughout the human central nervous system – the brain and spinal cord
