Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The dorsal-column/medial-lemniscal system involves the downward proceeding tracts that start with the sensory receptors present in joints, tendons, and muscles. It moves along the dorsal root ganglion followed by the site at where it crosses over is known as medulla oblongata.
