Q

Functions of spinal cord

A

Conduction- sensory information ascends and motor commands descend
Neural integration- processing of info from interneurons
Locomotion- coordinate simple repetitive movements
Reflexes- Involuntary stereotyped responses to stimuli

16
Q

Types of Fibers

A

Sensory, motor and association

17
Q

Mixed nerve

A

afferent and efferent fibers

18
Q

first order neurons

A

carry signals from the periphery to the spinal cord

19
Q

Second-order neurons

A

Carry signals from the spinal cord to the thalamus

20
Q

Third- order neurons

A

carry signals from the thalamus to the primary sensory cortex

21
Q

Nerve
