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.

- Which of the following best describes why it is difficult to develop antiviral drugs? Explain why. A. antiviral drugs are very difficult to develop andhave no side effects B. viruses are difficult to target because they usethe host cell’s enzymes and ribosomes tometabolize and replicate C. viruses are too small to be targeted by drugs D. viral infections usually clear up on their ownwith no problemsarrow_forwardThis question has 3 parts (A, B, & C), and is under the subject of Nutrition.
