Concept explainers
(1)
To explain: With respect to posterior funiculus-medial lemniscal pathway, the type of sensory receptors involved and the type of sensory information provided to brain.
Concept introduction: The nerve signals are relayed from the brain to other organs through the spinal cord. Based on the direction of nerve signals, synapse conduction pathways are of two types: sensory pathways or motor pathways. Sensory pathways are also known as ascending pathways and relay sensory input to the brain. There are three somatosensory pathways: posterior funiculus-medial lemniscal pathway, anterolateral pathway, and spinocerebellar pathway.
(2)
To explain: With respect to posterior funiculus-medial lemniscal pathway, location of each of the sensory neurons within the chain of three neurons that compose this pathway.
