ascending tracts

Question 1

light touch, conscious proprioception, stereognosis, two-point discrimination

Answer 1

DCML

Question 2

crude touch

Answer 2

anterior spinothalamic tract

Question 3

fast nociception, temperature,
and conscious relay (quick sharp pain when toe stubbed)

Answer 3

lateral spinothalamic tract

Question 4

where does the 2nd order neurons from the anterolateral spinothalamic pathway cross?

Answer 4

at level of SC entry via anterior commissure

Question 5

where does the 2nd order neurons from the DCML cross?

Answer 5

pyramidal decussation at the medulla

Question 6

dull, poorly localized pain with broad emotional, autonomic, and cognitive responses

Answer 6

medial nociception (paleospinothalamic pathway)

Question 7

orienting and pain modulation

Answer 7

spinomescenephalic

Question 8

arousal and attention

Answer 8

spinoreticular

Question 9

what three tracts are included in medial nociception?

Answer 9

spino-emotional
spinomescenephalic
spinoreticular

Question 10

unconscious postural and movement adjustments (aka non-conscious relay tracts from LEs and lower body)

Answer 10

dorsal or posterior spinocerebellar

Question 11

carries proprioceptive information from the lower body to the cerebellum for coordination of movement

Answer 11

posterior/dorsal spinocerebellar pathway

Question 12

carries proprioceptive information from the lower body to the cerebellum, especially related to muscle activity and movement patterns (coordination between BLEs)

Answer 12

anterior/ventral spinocerebellar pathway

Question 13

information from face, neck, UEs, and upper body

Answer 13

cuneocerebellar

Question 14

transmits proprioceptive information from the cervical spinal cord and T1 to the ipsilateral column

Answer 14

rostrospinocerebellar tract
