A funiculus/column is: a small bundle of axons (nerve fibres), enclosed by, the: perineurium. A small nerve may consist of a single funiculus. But a larger nerve will have several funiculi collected together into larger bundles known as fascicles. Fascicles are bound together in a common membrane, the——epineurium.
Funiculi in the spinal cord are portions of white matter. Examples include:
- Anterior funiculus of the spinal cord
- Lateral funiculus of the spinal cord
- Posterior funiculus of the spinal cord
- Funiculus separans of the rhomboid fossa
