From these anterior and lateral pyramidalcolumns the motor fibres pass into the anterior horn of the spinal ANATOMY. 57 cord, whence they emerge through the motor nerves to join with thesensory fibres from the posterior columns, and after this junction themotor fibres pass on through the peripheral nerve to the muscles,to terminate either in an end-plate or in a nerve plexus.
