It extends throughout the entire length of the medulla spinalis, and on transverse section appears as an oval area in front of the posterior column and medial to the posterior spinocerebellar tract.

Famous quotes containing the word tract:
“My lusts they do me leave,
My fancies all be fled,
And tract of time begins to weave
Grey hairs upon my head.”
