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 tracts of the spinal cord carry impulses away from the brain?
synape
Where does motor impulse travel through spinal cord?
ascending tracts
What tracts the spinal cord carry sensory information to the brain?

Which spinal cord tracts carry impulses for conscious sensations?

Which of the following does NOT describe the spinal cord tracts pathways?
memory. it does have relay, somatotype and decussation
In the spinal cord white matter is separated into ascending and descending tracts organized as?

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.
Why do messages not get mixed up passing through the spinal cord?
There are ascending and descending tracts in the spinal cord. These tracts are nerve fibers bundled together. Messages going to the brain pass through the ascending tracts while messages coming from the brain pass through the descending tracts. These separate paths prevent messages from getting mixed up.
