Question
**Question:** 

In the gray matter of the cerebral cortex, one would expect to find:

- O Cell bodies and dendrites with minimal blood supply
- O Demyelinated axons
- O Myelinated axons
- O Cell bodies and dendrites along with a rich blood supply

**Explanation:**

This question addresses the components typically found in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex, which is primarily known for housing neuron cell bodies and dendrites. It also emphasizes the importance of blood supply in the gray matter. When studying the cerebral cortex, understanding the distribution of various neural elements and their associated vascularization helps in comprehending their functions and contribution to brain activity.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce about the brain

The swollen part of the central nervous system (CNS) located in brainbox having cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and protected by meninges is called brain. The human brain contains the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. The cerebral cortex or cerebrum is the part of terencephalon which is the part of forebrain.
