Lamina Of Grey Matter Flashcards
Lamina I location
tip of the dorsal horn
Lamina I cells respond to….. stimuli
noxious or thermal stimuli
Lamina I sends information to the brain by
the contralateral spinothalamic tract
Lamina I corresponds ton
the nucleus marginalis
Lamina II Involved in sensation of
noxious and non-noxious stimuli
noxious
Poisonous and harmful
This lamina contributes to the brain’s interpretation of incoming signals as painful, or not.
Lamina ll
Lamina ll Sends information to
Lamina III and IV (nucleus proprius)
Lamina II Corresponds to
substantia gelatinosa
Lamina III is involved in
proprioception and sensation of light touch.
Cells in Lamina III connects with cells in layers
IV, V and VI.
Lamina III Partially corresponds to
nucleus proprius
Lamina IV is Involved in
non-noxious sensory information relay and processing.
Lamina IV Cells connect with those in
lamina II
Lamina IV Partially corresponds to
nucleus proprius
Lamina V is involved in
Relays sensory, including nociceptive (potentially painful), information to the brain
How does Lamina V Relays sensory, including nociceptive (potentially painful), information to the brain
via the contralateral and spinothalamic tracts
Lamina V Receives descending information from the brain via
corticospinal and rubrospinal tracts.
Lamina VI Contains many small interneurons involved in
spinal reflexes
