  • give the location and function of the Fasciculus cuneatus

    major ascending pathway

    dorsal funiculus

    general sensation and proprioception from upper limbs, upper trunk, and neck

  • give the location and function of the Fasciculus gracilis

    major ascending pathway

    dorsal funiculus

    general sensation and proprioception from lower limbs and inferior body trunk

  • give the location and function of the lateral spinothalamic

    major ascending pathway

    lateral funiculus

    pain and temperature impulses

  • give the location and function of the ventral spinothalamic

    major ascending pathway

    ventral funiculus

    crude touch and pressure impulses

  • give the location and function of the dorsal spinocerebellar

    major ascending pathway

    lateral funiculus

    subconscious proprioception from trunk and lower limb to cerebellum on same side of body

  • give the location and function of the lateral corticospinal

    major descending pathway

    lateral funiculus

    motor impulses from cerebrum to spinal cord motor neurons

  • give the location and function of the ventral corticospinal

    major descending pathway

    ventral funiculus

    motor impulses from cerebrum to spinal cord motor neurons

  • give the location and function of the tectospinal

    major descending pathway

    ventral funiculus

    turns eyes so neck can follow moving object

  • give the location and function of the vestibulospinal

    major descending pathway

    ventral funiculus

    motor impulses that maintain muscle tone

  • give the location and function of the rubrospinal

    major descending pathway

    lateral funiculus

    control flexor muscles in animals, lesser function in humans

  • cervical enlargement

  • cauda equina

    collection of nerve roots at the inferior end of the vertebral canal

  • conus medullaris

    tapered end of the spinal cord

  • lumbar enlargement

  • filum terminale

    extends from the conus medullaris

    anchors the spinal cord in place

  • where is a lumbar puncture taken and why?

    -spinal cord ends between L1 and L2

    -subarachnoid space contains cerebrospinal fluid

    -dural and arachnoid membranes extend to the level of S2 making it an optimal spot to perform a lumbar puncture
