Detailed explanation-1: -These somas are circular structures that house the nucleus of the cells. The grey matter also extends from the brain into the spinal cord. The grey matter creates a hornlike structure throughout the inside of the spinal cord while the white matter makes up the surrounding sections of the spinal cord.
