2. What part of the brain cell do you think the white part of the brain was made from?
3. What is you best guess about what it does to the brain?
4. What part of the brain cell do you think the pink/grey parts of the brain were made from?
5. What is your best guess about what it does in the brain?

Answer 1

How thick did the cerebral cortex appear on the surface of the brain? 2 to 4 mm

Answer 2

What part of the brain cell do you think the white part of the brain was made from?
mostly of glial cells and myelinated axons

Answer 3

1.The human cerebral cortex is 2–4 mm (0.08–0.16 inches) thick. In preserved brains, it has a grey color, hence the name "grey matter".

Answer 4

What is you best guess about what it does to the brain?
that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another and between the cerebrum and lower brain centers

Answer 5

2. It consists mostly of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another and between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. White matter tissue of the freshly cut brain appears pinkish white to the naked eye because myelin is composed largely of lipid tissue veined with capillaries. Its white color is due to its usual preservation in formaldehyde.
