Question 12

5

Answer 12

fasciculus cuneatus

Question 13

6

Answer 13

posterior spinocerebellar tract

Question 14

7

Answer 14

fasciculus gracilis

Question 15

8

Answer 15

lateral spinothalamic tract (temperature receptors)

Question 16

9

Answer 16

lateral spinothalamic tract (pain receptors)

Question 17

Non specific ascending pathways

Answer 17

lateral spinothalamic tract send impulses to the sensory cortex; are responsible for discriminative touch and conscious proprioception

Question 18

specific ascending pathways

Answer 18

the fasciculus gracilis and fasciculus cuneatus tracts send impulses to the sensory cortex; are responsible for discriminative touch and conscious proprioception

the posterior spinocerebellar tract send impulses to the cerebellum and do not contribute to sensory perception
