What are the origins for lateral spinothalamic and anterior spinothalamic tracts?
Lateral reticulospinal tract : It arises from the nuclei of reticular formation of the brain stem (mainly medulla)Medial reticulspinal tract : It arises from the nuclei of reticular formation of the brain stem (mainly pons)
What is the pathway for crude pain?
The lateral spinothalamic tract (it carries sensation for temperature and pain) whereas the anterior spinothalamic tract carries sensation for light touch and pressure.
What are nueral tracts that convey life saving information to the brain concerning burning pain?
lateral spinothalamic

tibia has three borders and three surfaces.Borders: anterior border,lateral border,medial border.Surfaces:1)posterior surface(between medial and lateral border)2)lateral surface(between anterior and lateral border)3)medial surface(between anterior and medial border)
What is the function of lateral spinothalamic tract?
The function of this tract is to detect pain.

Which spinal cord tracts carry impulses for conscious sensations?
Lateral Spinothalamic
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 is the difference between transverse lateral and longitudinal directions?
what is difference between lateral and longitudinal?
What is the function lateral corticospinal and anterior corticospinal?
Lateral controls extremities. Anterior controls more axial muscles
Is deltoid anterior posterior or both?
Anterior, posterior and lateral also.
Is the heart anterior or lateral to the sternum?
