It consists of two fasciculi, called the trapezoid ligament and conoid ligament.
These fasciculi end in rounded elevations known as the gracile and the cuneate tubercles.
The deeper muscles are best seen as numerous distinct fasciculi in a cross-section of the trunk.
At the points of division into the slips mentioned, numerous strong, transverse fasciculi bind the separate processes together.
As regards pagination, the work is divided into 2 volumes that were issued as 6 fasciculi in total.
It is uncertain whether fibers are continued directly from the gracile and cuneate fasciculi into the inferior peduncle.
Histologically, these two fasciculi are on other sides of the dorsal intermediate sulcus.
Lateral to the fasciculi cuneatus is the lateral funiculus.
