Answer:
The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the <u><em>grey column</em></u> , and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the <u><em>ventral or anterior</em></u> horns, which innervate skeletal muscle.
Explanation:
The grey matter is a component of the central nervous system that contains neuronal and glial cells and it can be found in the brain, brainstem and <em>spinal cord, in this last one, is found in the grey column, a mass of grey matter shaped in H form.</em>
In this column the grey matter is divided into four columns (as you can see in the image I added):
- The dorsal or posterior horn: contains somatosensorial neurons
- <em> The ventral or anterior horn: contains somatic efferent motor neurons (they exit the spinal cord to innervate skeletal muscle) </em>
- The intermediate column: contains neurons to innervate visceral organs
- The lateral horn: same as the intermediate column
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
