Ascending And Descending Tract Of The Spinal Cord
Ascending tracts Relay station for primary feed back (sensory) Main afferent tracts Fasciculus gracilis/cuneatus (Anterior/posterior) Sensory For trunk, neck, UE propioception, vibration, two-point discrimination, and graphesthesia Spinocerebellar tract (dorsal/ventral) Sensory Ipsilateral subconscious, proprioception, tension of muscles, joint sense, and posture. Spinothalamic tract (anterior) Sensory Light touch Spinothalamic (lateral) Sensory Pain and temperature Descending tracts Involved with voluntary motor function, muscle tone, relfexes, and equilibrium (motor) Main efferent tracts Pyrmidal motor types Corticospinal tract (anterior) Motor Ipsilateral skilled movements Corticospinal tract (lateral) Motor Contralateral fine movements Damage to this may cause positive Babinski sign, loss of fine movement, and voluntary movement. Extrapyramidal motor types Reticulospinal tract Motor Facilitation/inhibition of voluntary and reflex activity Rubrospinal tract Motor Gross posture tone Facilitating flexor muscles Inhibiting extensor muscles Tectospinal tract Motor Contralateral postural muscle tone Vestibulospinal tract Motor Ispsilateral posture adjustments Damage to this may cause in paralysis, hypertonicity, exaggerated deep tendon reflex.
