To explain: With regard to anterolateral pathway, the type of sensory receptors involved and the type of sensory information that is being provided to the 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.

To explain: With regard to anterolateral pathway, location of each of the sensory neurons within the chain of three neurons that compose this pathway.

- A 25-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with a 2-day history of fever, chills, severe headache, and confusion. She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes.
