Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The part of the brain and the spinal cord, where myelinated neurons are present in abundance is called white matter and the part where the cell body and non-myelinated neurons are present is called grey matter.
Detailed explanation-2: -White matter refers to areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, also called tracts.
Detailed explanation-3: -White matter is found in the deeper tissues of the brain (subcortical). It contains nerve fibers (axons), which are extensions of nerve cells (neurons). Many of these nerve fibers are surrounded by a type of sheath or covering called myelin. Myelin gives the white matter its color.
