Spleen

As the largest part of the central nervous system, the brain contains billions of neurons and glial cells. “Gray matter,” which makes up about 40% of the brain, contains neurons responsible for processing and transmitting signals. “White matter,” accounting for about 60%, connects areas of gray matter and carries nerve impulses throughout the brain. Its name comes from myelin, a white, lipid-rich substance that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers, allowing electrical signals to travel quickly and efficiently.
