Starting in the spinal cord, trace a motor pathway to the adductor.

The following are the Spinal cord pathway, both sensory and motor.

peripheral nerve - > sensory pathway - - > posterior root - > posterior horn - > anterior horn - > anterior root - > motor pathway

This is also the ascending and descending fiber pathways

* ascending / incoming / afferent / sensory pathways:

- sensory impulses carry different "feeling" (light touch, hot, cold)

Fiber pathways from specific area of body

* outgoing / efferent / descending / motor pathways:

- cause muscles to act

- in white matter of spinal cord

- cross over from one side of body to another in different levels (what

effects in phenomenon of left-sided stroke affecting the right side of

the body)
