As a result of these various methods of investigation wenow know that the white substance of the cord may be sub-divided as follows: First, the anterior columns between thetwo anterior horns of the gray matter ; second, the lateralcolumns between the apex of the anterior horns and theposterior gray matter; third, the posterior columns betweenthe two posterior horns.
