Spinal cord. Light micrograph (LM) of a transverse section through a mammalian cervical spinal cord. The spinal cord has a central canal around which are the dorsal and ventral horns. These consist of grey matter, made up of neuron cell bodies and their connections (ganglia). Outside the grey matter is the white matter which consists mainly of long axons of the nerve cells (neurons) which run up and down the spinal cord.
