Question
Chapter 14, Problem 4TYR
Summary Introduction
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.
