What do ascending tracts contain?
They are sensory tracts.We have 4 tracts carrying conscious sensations = gracile + cuneate + lateral spinothalamic + anterior spinothalamicAnother 4 tracts carrying unconscious sensations = posterior spinocerebellar + anterior spinocerebellar + spino-olivary + spinotectal

What role do spinal tracts play in the peripheral nervous system?
