The inner third joins with some choroidal tissue to form a plate (lamina cribrosa) across the optic nerve with perforations through which the optic fibers (fasciculi) pass.
Under the clavicle, the trunks "(trunci)" reorganize to form cords "(fasciculi)" around the axillary artery "(arteria axillaris)".
Lateral to the fasciculi cuneatus is the lateral funiculus.
Histologically, these two fasciculi are on other sides of the dorsal intermediate sulcus.
It is uncertain whether fibers are continued directly from the gracile and cuneate fasciculi into the inferior peduncle.
As regards pagination, the work is divided into 2 volumes that were issued as 6 fasciculi in total.
At the points of division into the slips mentioned, numerous strong, transverse fasciculi bind the separate processes together.
The deeper muscles are best seen as numerous distinct fasciculi in a cross-section of the trunk.
