It is a higher magnification compared to the figure on the previous page, and its purpose is to identify the gray and white matter of the spinal cord.<\/p>\n<p>The gray matter occupies the center of the spinal cord. It is more intensely stained than the white matter because it contains a large number of neuronal cell bodies and glial cells, as well as a large number of unmyelinated axons and glial cell extensions.<\/p>\n<p>The white matter is less intensely stained and has a reticulated appearance. Most of its fibers are myelinated and are sectioned transversely. Myelin, which covers the axons, is a mixture of complex lipids. Lipids are usually dissolved during the preparation of histological sections by routine techniques, due to the use of ethanol and organic solvents (xylene, benzene, toluene). aS a consequence, places that had myelin now show clear spaces.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-25-en.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Spinal cord.
