Question
Chapter 14.1, Problem 5AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The functions of the anterolateral and dorsal column / medial lemniscal systems. Also, determine the crossing over and synapse of these two neurons.
Introduction:
The anterolateral system consists of two different tracts that are anterior spinothalamic tract and spinothalamic tract. The dorsal column medial lemniscus pathway is the sensory pathway of the central nervous system.

Students have asked these similar questions
Sensory fibers, or pathways, are referred to as “afferent.” Motor fibers, or pathways, are referred to as “efferent.” What can you infer about the meaning of these two terms (afferent and efferent) in a structural or anatomical context?
Inhibitory interneurons associated with the reflex arc are turned on by glutamate.
Group of answer choices
True
False
The tendon tap reflex can be elicited by a stretch in a muscle. What is the order of information flow from the primary sensory afferent to the lower motor neuron?
Group of answer choices
dorsal horn, dorsal root, ventral horn
dorsal root, dorsal horn, ventral horn
ventral root, ventral horn, dorsal horn, dorsal root
In regards to the spinothalamic tract, where does the second order neuron cross midline?
Group of answer choices
at the spinal cord segment
at the brainstem
at the thalamus
it never crosses midline
Which statement is TRUE about the synapse?
Neurotransmitters shuttle the signal back and forth between the pre- and post-synaptic cell.
The pre-synaptic cell and post-synaptic cell are in direct contact, allowing the electrical signal to seamlessly
flow from one to the other.
The action potential jumps from the pre-synaptic cell into the post-synaptic cell.
The action potential ends in the pre-synaptic cell and neurotransmitters carry the signal across the
synaptic cleft to the post-synaptic cell.

- We regularly make conscious decisions to make specific muscular movements. For example, when using the touch interface of your phone, you make a conscious effort to scroll up and down the screen using your finger. In contrast, there are many muscular movements that cannot be controlled voluntarily. For example, you cannot make your heart stop by thinking about it. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the parts of the nervous system that are involved in voluntary and involuntary actions, respectively? Select one: a. Motor neurons of the somatic nervous system and motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system b. Motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system and sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system c.
