Gray matter consists of the <u>unmyelinated axons</u> of neurons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The outer layer of the brain consists of the grey matter and white matter. The grey matter gets its name by the pinkish grey colour obtained by the greyish colour of the neurons and the red colour from the capillaries.

The grey matter consists of the dentrites, axons and cell bodies and this is essential for memory, attention and learning.  

The unmyelinated axons are not covered by the fat protein myelin and these axons carry signals.They are the ones to help the processing of information in the brain.

Gray matter consists of the <u>cell bodies </u>(soma) and <u>dendrites</u> (branches) of neurons or the nerve cells.  

Explanation

The absence of myelinated sheaths of the neurons in gray matter gives its gray color. Along with soma and dendrites, gray matter also consists of axon tracts, neuropil, glial cells and blood capillaries. The volume of gray cells correlates with a person’s skills and abilities.

Both the brain and the spinal cord contains gray matter. Gray matter is involved in a number of brain activities like thinking and memory, seeing and hearing, decision making and self-control etc.

2. Describe one way that a fossil can form.
Anika [276]
Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.
