Explanation:

  • 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, these tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively)
