Gray matter contains the cell bodies (neurosomas), dendrites, and proximal parts of axons of neurons. Glial cells are also present in gray matter, but myelinated fibers and axons of lower order motor neurons are found in white matter. Schwann cells are peripheral nervous system glial cells and are not typically found in gray matter.
