Summary Introduction
To review:
The anterolateral system and the stimuli transmitted by this system.
Introduction:
The main three ascending tracts present in the spinal cord are posterior columns, anterolateral system, and spinocerebellar tracts. The main function of these tracts is to carry specific sensory stimuli from body parts to specific areas of the brain for integration and processing.
