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 else can I help you with?
Are extrapyramidial tracts nerve tracts that the corticospinal tracts that transmit impulses into the spinal cord?
yes it is
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 tracts of the spinal cord carry sensory information to the brain?
spinothalamic
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?
spinothalamic
Two terms for the massive motor tracts serving voluntary movement?
Pyramidal tracts: These are a group of motor pathways that originate in the cerebral cortex and travel through the brainstem to the spinal cord to control voluntary movement. Corticospinal tracts: These are specific pyramidal tracts that pass from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord, playing a key role in executing voluntary motor commands.
Which spinal cord tracts carry impulses for conscious sensations?
Lateral Spinothalamic
What are intersegmental tracts?
They are short ascending and descending fibres which connect the various segments together to integrate their activities. They include:Fasciculi propriiseptomarginal and coma-shaped tractsAnterior intersegmental tractLissauer tract
In the spinal cord white matter is separated into ascending and descending tracts organized as?
columns
Which of the following does NOT describe the spinal cord tracts pathways?
memory. it does have relay, somatotype and decussation
What impulses do ascending tracts within the spinal cord carry to the brain?
Ascending tracts within the spinal cord carry sensory information such as touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception to the brain. These tracts transmit this information from sensory receptors in the body to different regions of the brain for processing and interpretation.
