2019年4月18日 · Ascending pathways of the spinal cord (dorsal column and spinothalamic tract). 1. The spinothalamic tract has two components, often referred to collectively as the anterolateral system. They are the anterior and lateral spinothalamic tracts (STT): The pathway of the spinothalamic tracts is shown in the table 2. Table 2. The spinothalamic tract.
Spinal cord: Ascending and descending tracts - Kenhub
2023年11月16日 · The spinal cord has numerous groups of nerve fibers going towards and coming from the brain. These have been collectively called the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord, respectively. The tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively).

The spinal cord white matter contains ascending and descending tracts. Ascending tracts (Figure 3.8). The nerve fibers comprise the ascending tract emerge from the first order (1°) neuron located in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG).
Ascending and descending spinal tracts - Osmosis
Ascending tracts are sensory pathways that begin at the spinal cord and stretch all the way up to the cerebral cortex. There are three types of ascending tracts, dorsal column - medial lemniscus system, spinothalamic (or anterolateral) system, and spinocerebellar system.
