Spinal cord introduction to the transverse section

When you look at a section through the spinal cord, what are you looking at? What is grey matter and white matter? What are they for? What are the parts of grey and white matter called?
This is a chat that should be fairly introductory to the anatomy of the spinal cord. It's not comprehensive but it's also not too dumbed down. Some bits are simplified because it's important to feel comfortable with some of the concepts of neuroanatomy so that you can then add complexity to your understanding. If you go in too hard though, you might bounce off. I know I do.
By the way, myelin is more than just fat. It's pretty cool and very important, but that's for another day.

Thank you Mr. Webster for making anatomy fascinating and fun.

Thanks you are a great teacher

Watching this video, and looking at your model of the cross section, I had no sense of the dimension involved. I had the vague impression that the spinal cord was about an inch across. When you went to the microscope, it didn't initially make sense to me that you needed a microscope to look at something that was an inch across. So I went to wikipedia. I was absolutely blow away when I found on wikipedia that in the thoracic area, the diameter of the spinal cord is only a quarter inch across! Whoa! All that in a quarter inch? No way! Did you mention this fact in the video?

[@danyan.afandy6822]

What an amazing video, iam stage 1 medical student and i have been struggling with identifying gray matter and white matter, quite confusing but now its not thanks.

[@Ankitmani3027.]

Thank you! one question thou... I understand why it gets thinner and thinner, but why do you get a second "bulge" at the lower lumbar region (9:06 mins into the video)? thanks Ottilie

For the lumbosacral plexus supplying the inferior extremities.
