reticulospinal
afferent nerves of the ascending spinal pathways.
The reason why a peripheral nerve such as the sciatic nerve can contain nerve fiber from several spinal nerves is owing to nerve plexuses. These are networks of nerves all tangled together and found mostly in the limbs.
ventral root of a spinal nerve
The spinal nerve is not a nerve plexus. Nerve plexuses are complex interwoven networks of nerves that form in the peripheral nervous system, whereas spinal nerves are the mixed nerves that emerge from the spinal cord and are not organized in a plexus-like fashion.

the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
Ascending impulses refer to nerve signals traveling towards the brain, carrying sensory information from the body. Descending impulses, on the other hand, refer to nerve signals traveling from the brain down the spinal cord to control motor functions and movement in the body.
Basically, a nerve is a fiber that connects the brain and spinal cord with various parts of the body (aka - receptor organs).

Myelinated nerves are white, and composes the white matter of the brain and spinal cord they also are able to pass an action potential down an axon much faster; Unmyelinated nerves are gray, and composes the gray matter of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves transmit signals much slower
alpha spinal motor neuron axons leave the spinal column and enter the nerves via the ventral rami.
