    The document describes the anatomy of the spinal cord, including its gray and white matter and the structures associated with sensory and motor functions. The spinal cord contains a central canal surrounded by gray matter, which contains the dorsal and ventral horns. Sensory dorsal roots carry signals into the dorsal horn while motor ventral roots exit from the ventral horn. Spinal nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers and emerge from the spinal cord to innervate different parts of the body.
