| Anatomical system | Anatomical tracts | Functional components |
| anterolateral (ALS) | spinothalamic spinoreticular spinomesencephalic spinotectal spinohypothalamic | pain,temperature, nondiscriminative touch, pressure, some proprioceptive sensation |
| dorsal column-medial lemniscal | fasciculus gracilis fasciculus cuneatus | discriminative (fine) touch, vibratory sense, position sense |
