Chapter 14, Problem 14.1.10AYLO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The general function of the ascending tracts and the system used to name them, their individual names, locations, and functions.
Introduction:
Funiculi are of three types, posterior, lateral, and anterior funiculus on each side of the spinal cord. Each funiculus is subdivided into tracts, the ascending tract, and the descending tract. The ascending tract carries the sensory information towards/upwards the spinal cord, while the descending tracts conduct motor signals down to the spinal cord.
