In which portion of the spinal cord do the interneurons lie?
Correct answer: C. Gray matter
- A. Cervical enlargement
- B. Lumbar enlargement
- C. Gray matter
- D. White matter
Explanation
Interneurons are present in gray matter because they facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons, integrating and processing signals within the central nervous system. Their location within gray matter allows for complex information processing, coordination of movements, and regulation of sensory input and motor output, crucial for various cognitive and motor functions.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
