Which of the following are components of gray matter in the CNS? (Select all that apply) A) Myelin Sheaths B) Axons C) Dendrites D) Soma
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which components belong to gray matter in the central nervous system (CNS) from the provided options. We need to assess each option to determine if it is a part of gray matter.
Answer
Gray matter includes dendrites and soma.
The correct components of gray matter are dendrites and soma (neuronal cell bodies).
Answer for screen readers
The correct components of gray matter are dendrites and soma (neuronal cell bodies).
More Information
Gray matter in the central nervous system consists mainly of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites, as well as unmyelinated axons. The white appearance of white matter is due to the presence of myelin sheaths, which are not a component of gray matter.
Tips
A common mistake is to include myelin sheaths and myelinated axons as components of gray matter when they are actually found in white matter.
