The ascending spinal tracts carry _____ information.
Sensory
The _______ spinal tracts carry motor information.
Descending
Posterior Dorsal Columns carry ______ information.
Vibration, two point discrimination, deep pressure, and conscious muscle sense.
Sensory information carried by the dorsal columns ducussate at the _______.
Medulla/brain stem
Anterior spinothalamic tracts carry _______ information.
light touch
Dorsal Column sends what sensory information?
Deep pressure, vibration, two point discrimination, conscious muscle sense
Information sent through the dorsal column terminates in the
contralateral somasensory cortex
Information in the Anterior Spinothalamic tract decussates in the
spinal cord
the anterior spinothalamic tract carry what sensory information?
light touch
Information carried in the Anterior spinothalamic tract terminates in the
contralateral somasensory cortex
What information is carried through the latreal spinothalamic tract?
pain and temperature
Information carried through the lateral spinothalamic tract decussates in the
spinal cord
information carried in the lateral spinothalamic tract terminates in the
contralateral somasensory cortex
Information sent through the Anterior spinocerebellar tract:
unconscious muscle and joint sense
Information carried through the anterior spinocerebellar tract decussates at:
Some in the spinal cord at entry, some do not.
Information transmitted through the anterior spinocerebellar tract terminates in the
cerebellum
Information carried in the posterior spinocerebellar tract:
Unconscious muscle and joint sense
Information carried through the posterior spinocerebellar tract decussates at:
It doesn’t
Information carried through the posterior spinocerebellar tract terminates in the
cerebellum
Information carried through Lateral corticospinal tract
voluntary muscle control of appendages
information carried through the lateral corticospinal tract decussates at
the medulla oblongata
information carried through the lateral corticospinal tract terminates at the
interneurons: alpha motor neurons of the cord
information carreid through the anterior corticospinal tract
voluntary movement of axial skeleton
information carried through the anterior corticospinal tract decussates at
spinal cord at site of innervation
