Explanation

Grey matter in the central nervous system consists primarily of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, giving it a grey appearance. White matter consists of myelinated axons appearing white due to the myelin sheath. Meninges are the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, not part of the grey matter itself.
