73. Descending neural pathways

  1. The posterior funiculus contains two descending tracts: the interfascicular fasciculus and the septomarginal fasciculus. /T/F?)
  2. The lateral corticospinal tract is organized somatotopically,  cervical segments are located laterally and sacral segments medialy.  (T/F?)
  3. The rubrospinal tract is situated in the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord. (T/F?)
  4. The lateral vestibulospinal tract runs the entire length of the spinal cord. (T/F?)
  5. The medial vestibulospinal tract runs down only to the cervical segments of the spinal cord. (T/F?)
  6. Spinospinal tracts are collections of fibers that connect various levels of the spinal cord and they are present in all spinal funiculi (posterior, lateral and anterior). (T/F?)
