To discuss:
The locations and composition of the gray matter and white matter of the cerebrum and cerebellum; relation of colors to the gray matter and white matter; and the meaning of the cortex, nucleus, and tract in relation to brain’s gray and white matter.
Introduction:
The central nervous system consists of two main parts; one is the brain and the other is the spinal cord. The brain is the most important organ present in our body. It consists of three parts namely the cerebrum, brain stem, and cerebellum. Our brain is used to control daily activities of life. Gray and white matter is located on the cerebrum and cerebellum, and the color has some relation to composition.
