Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Funiculi are of three types, posterior, lateral, and anterior funiculus on each side of the spinal cord. Each funiculus is subdivided into tracts, the ascending tract, and the descending tract. The ascending tract carries the sensory information towards/upwards the spinal cord, while the descending tracts conduct motor signals down to the spinal cord.

Pain/temperature information from the body crosses over to the other side of the body (decussates) in wh.
structure?
the spinal cord
O the medial lemniscus of the medulla

Located at the “back of the brain” is the __4_____. In the longitudinal cut you are looking at, you’ll notice that it has an internal, tree-like pattern called arbor vitae. This part of the brain coordinates equilibrium and motor activity to produce smooth, controlled movements.
In the _____ pathway involving slow pain, the first neuron passes from a pain receptor to the posterior horn of the spinal cord, the second neuron crosses over and passes to the thalamus where it causes poorly localized sensations of aching pain.
options:
lateral spinothalamic
vestibulospinal
dorsal column medial lemniscal
lateral corticospinal
