Explanation:

Grey Ramus Communicants

  • Consist of dendrites and neuron cell bodies, unmyelinated axons, and neuroglia.

  • Form an ''H'' shape in the center of the grey commissure within which cerebrospinal fluid-filled space called the central canal is located.

White Ramus Communicants

  • Consists primarily of myelinated axons which extend the length of the cord.

  • Allows for various levels of the Central Nervous System to communicate
