ventral spinocerebellar tract (medicine) and haemocatheresis (medicine)


ventral spinocerebellar tract (medicine)


ventral spinocerebellar tract -->
anterior spinocerebellar tract


A bundle of fibres originating in the base of the posterior horn and zona intermedia throughout lumbosacral segments of the spinal cord, crossing to the opposite side and ascending in a peripheral position in the ventral half of the lateral funiculus. In its ascent through the rhombencephalon, the tract curves sharply dorsalward along the rostral border of the trigeminal motor nucleus, entering the cerebellum in a caudal direction over the dorsal surface of the superior cerebellar peduncle, and terminating as mossy fibres in the granular layer of the cortex of the cerebellar vermis. The bundle conveys proprioceptive and exteroceptive information largely from the opposite lower extremity.

Synonym: tractus spinocerebellaris anterior, Gowers' column, Gowers' tract, ventral spinocerebellar tract.


haemocatheresis (medicine)

Destruction of the blood cells, especially of erythrocytes (haemocytocatheresis).
