Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The gray matter of the spinal cord is dominated by:
A
large numbers of myelinated axons
B
large numbers of unmyelinated axons
C
Schwann cells and satellite cells
D
cell bodies of neurons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Define gray matter in the spinal cord. It is neural tissue that is dominated by the cell bodies of neurons, neuroglia, and unmyelinated axons, and it surrounds the narrow central canal. It is neural tissue that contains large numbers of myelinated and unmyelinated axons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Grey Matter in the Brain and Spinal Cord Gray matter, named for its pinkish-gray color, is home to neural cell bodies, axon terminals, and dendrites, as well as all nerve synapses. This brain tissue is abundant in the cerebellum, cerebrum, and brain stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gray matter is dominated by the dendrites and cell bodies of neurons and glial cells and unmyelinated axons, whereas the white matter is composed primarily of myelinated axons.
