Question
Chapter 14, Problem 8CP
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The components of the medulla oblongata that are responsible for relaying somatic sensory information to the thalamus.
Introduction:
The medulla oblongata is the lowermost part of the brain-stem that connects the spinal cord to the brain. The medulla oblongata is responsible for relaying somatic sensory information to the thalamus.

Students have asked these similar questions
State the function and location of Thalamus.
The thalamus has been described as a “switchboard.” Explain why, by describing the pathway of somatic sensory information from the receptors to the cerebral cortex.
Describe the neuronal components and functions of the posterior column–medial lemniscus pathway, the anterolateral pathway, and the spinocerebellar pathway.
