The dorsal column system, which consists of the fasciculus gracilis and the fasciculus cuneatus, transmits highly critical types of sensations to the brain (see Figure 1-1). The velocity and accuracy ... Its main function is to integrate impulses emerging from the cerebral cortex and is concerned with somatic motor functions.
