AB The  spinal  cord  is  made  of  both  gray  and  white  matter.  Gray  matter  consists  of  neurons,  neuronal  processes,  and  neuroglia.  It  is  butterfly  or  H-shaped.  White  matter  surrounds  gray  matter  and  is  made  up  of  neuronal  processes  (myelinated  and  unmyelinated),  neuroglia,  and  blood  vessels.  The  proportion  of  gray  to  white  matter  varies  at  different  levels  of  the  spinal  cord.  The  ratio  of  gray  to  white  matter  is  greatest  at  the  cervical  and  lumbar  regions.
