DMCL/ Spinocerrebellar Flashcards
what are the functions of somatosensory system?
to sense thing through skin on PTVTP ( pressure, touch, vibration, temperature & pain)
to monitor body’s position in the space
What does anterolateral system do?
transmit info of pain & temperature to cortex
What do AS and DCML both have in common?
equivalent cranial pathways for somatosensory in face and head
spinocerebella system
the subsystem of DCML that is responsible for transmitting information of proprioception to cerebellum
adequate stimulus
the stimulus that can generate action potential at the lowest threshold
How is DCML pathway to cortex different from DCML pathway to cerebellum?
to cortex is consciousness
to cerebellum is unconsciousness
transduction in sensory system
the conversion of other form energy into electrical signals
trigeminal system
the somatosensory system convey information from head and face
What does DCML do?
transmit information of touch, pressure & vibration though skin to cortex
transmit information of body’s position in space consciously to brain & unconsciously to spinocerebellar system
