<P> The medial division of the dorsal root contains myelinated fibres of larger diameter . These transmit information of discriminative touch , pressure , vibration , and conscious proprioception originating from spinal levels C2 through S5 . These fibers are pushed in towards the posterior median sulcus to form the gracile fasciculus and the cuneate fasciculus of the posterior column -- medial lemniscus pathway . If the dorsal root of a spinal nerve were severed it would lead to numbness in certain areas of the body . </P>
