Question

The gray matter consists of

• A. Neuronal cell bodies
• B. Unmyelinated axons
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both A and B

Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain which helps in the interpretation of the stimulus and generates nerve response. The outer portion of the cerebrum appears grey so it is known as grey matter. It appears grey because it has large number of neuronal cell bodies and unmyelinated axon. The inner portion of the brain is known as white matter as it consist of very less neuron cell bodies and myelin sheath.

So, the correct answer is option C.
