Broca’s Area

third order neuron

second order neurons

first order neruons

First order neurons
- motor pathway that controls movements of fingers, hands, arms, trunk, legs, feet

Corticospinal tract
(cortex to spine, motor)
- Ascending tract, carries sensory information for propreoception

Spinocerebellar
(from spine to cerebellum)

spinothalmic tract
The corticospinal cord connects into the anterior horn and into green neurons.

Alpha Motor Neuron
- The corticospinal cord connects into the anterior horn and into the motor neurons

effector neurons
- large collection of axons
- connects the telencephalon with diencephalon

internal capsule
- in medulla
- made of motor processes or pyramidal tracts

pyramids
- crossing of the motor fibers

pyramidal decussation
- the nerve after the pyramidal decussation

C1
- respond to pain and temperature

free nerve endings
- fine touch and pressure receptors

Tactile Merkel’s Disk
SA1
- touch receptor that detects stretch

Ruffini Corpuscle
SA2
- senses fine touch, pressure, and slow vibration

Meissner’s Corpuscle of Touch
discovered by anatomist Georg Meissner (1829–1905) and Rudolf Wagner[1]) are a type of mechanoreceptor.
- senses movement on skin surface that disturbes hair

hair root plexus
- sense deep pressure and high-frequency vibration

Laminated Pacinian Corpuscle
dermatomes sense the thumb
