Posterior funiculus [Funiculus Posterior, Pna: Funiculus Posterior (Medullae) Spinalis, Bna; Syn.: Dorsal Cord, Spinal Cord Posterior]

The posterior cord [Funiculus posterior] is a paired bundle of nerve fibers located in the spinal cord. It is one of the three main funiculi of the brain and is located between the posterior median sulcus and the posterior lateral sulcus. The posterior cord contains afferent nerve pathways responsible for proprioception, tactile and vibration sensitivity.

The posterior cord is formed by nerve fibers that run from the spinal cord to the brain. These fibers carry information about body position, movement and touch. They are also responsible for transmitting information about pain and temperature.

The posterior cord also contains fibers responsible for transmitting impulses from skeletal muscles to the brain, which allows a person to control and manage their movements.

The importance of the posterior cord for the human body cannot be overestimated. Its disruption can lead to poor coordination, decreased sensitivity, and loss of muscle control. Therefore, if you are experiencing problems with coordination of movements or feel decreased sensation in certain areas of the body, it is recommended to see a doctor to diagnose and treat possible problems with the posterior cord.



Posterior cord (posterior bundle of spinal nerves) [Funiculum posterior (pna), Syn. Funiculus medullae spinalis (bna)] is a paired bundle of nerve cells that is located in the tissues of the spinal cord. It is located between the posterior central and lateral parts of the posterior funiculus, and is the first funiculus of the brain.

The dorsal cord receives information from the roots and vertebrae, including images of light, shape and color. These nerves are connected to the body's nervous systems, which coordinate movements such as hearing, vision, tongue, chewing, swallowing, sneezing and coughing.

Most of the nerves from the cortical angle form fibers that pass through several nerves into the posterior interventricular ligament. Each pair of dorsal cords is a bundle of parallel peripheral nerve roots, their number depends on the number of thoracic transverse nerves, the number of which varies from six to 25. The first three bundles are called dorsal ganglia. Ganglia are the origin of terminal fibers. Fibers
