The correct answer is: the cell bodies of neuron are concentrated here
The central nervous system is made up of two types of tissue: the grey matter and the white matter. In the grey matter, these axons are mainly unmyelinated, meaning they are not covered by a whitish-colored, fatty protein called myelin.

The grey matter is mainly composed of neuronal cell bodies and unmyelinated axons
