  • These have been collectively called the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord, respectively, these tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively)
  • The ascending tracts transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to higher levels of the CNS
