What type of signal travels through the ascending spinal tracts?
sensory
Do descending fiber tracts of the spinal cord carry sensory or motor information?
The ascending tracts carry information to the brain.
What tracts of the spinal cord carry sensory information to the brain?
spinothalamic
What tracts the spinal cord carry sensory information to the brain?
spinothalamic
What is the difference between ascending tracts and descending tracts of the spinal cord?
ascending carry sensory information toward the brain.descending convey motor command to the spinal cord.
What carries sensory information to the spinal cord?
The major descending motor tract FROM the cerebrum is the corticospinal tract. The major ascending sensory tracts TO the cerebrum are the sensorimotor tract and the dorsal column lemniscal system.
What kinds of nerves are in the upward tract and downward tract of the spinal cord?
The ascending tracts (upward) contain sensory nerves, that pass sensory information from the body to the brain. The descending tracts (downward) contain motor nerves that activate the muscles in the body according to the brain's "commands".

What two tracts do the spinal cord have?
ascending (sensory/afferent) and descending (efferent/motor) tracts.Addition: Other than these two types of tracts, the white matter of spinal cord also contains "associative tracts" containing short ascending and descending fibres which coordinate the function of the different regions of spinal cord.
What are the four Parts of the Sensory Pathway?
Sensory pathways function to provide us with information about our environment. The four parts of the sensory pathway are receptors, sensory neurons, sensory tracts, and sensory areas of the brain.
What is the function of the spinocerebellar tracts?
the spinocerebellar tracts contain axons that do not cross over to the opposite side of the spinal cord. These tracts assist in the passage of proprioceptive information to the cerebellum.
Are extrapyramidial tracts nerve tracts that the corticospinal tracts that transmit impulses into the spinal cord?
yes it is
