Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Proper fasciculi are bundles of nerve fibers that are intrinsic to a particular structure or organ. They are part of the nervous system and play a crucial role in transmitting signals between different parts of the body. These bundles can be found in various parts of the body, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Function[edit | edit source]
The main function of the proper fasciculi is to transmit signals between different parts of the body. These signals can be sensory, meaning they carry information from the body to the brain, or motor, meaning they carry instructions from the brain to the muscles. The proper fasciculi play a crucial role in the functioning of the nervous system and the overall functioning of the body.
