Spinal Tracts are Composed of Gray Matter

Question

Spinal tracts are composed of gray matter.

Accepted Answer

Spinal tracts are composed of white matter, which consists mainly of myelinated axons. Gray matter is found in the spinal cord as well, but it is not part of the spinal tracts. Gray matter includes areas of the spinal cord that contain cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons.
