known as the thoracic nerves
intercostal nerves
It is The area of the skin that provides sensory input to the CNS via one pair of spinal nerve or the trigeminal (V) nerve
Dermatome
It is the area of the skin that provides sensory input to the CNS via one pair of spinal
nerves
Dermatomes
Skin over the entire body is supplied by _______________ that carry nerve impulses.
Somatic Sensory Neurons
Skin over the entire body is supplied by somatic sensory neurons that carry nerve impulses
Somatic sensory neurons are a type of nerve cell that carry information from the body to the central nervous system (CNS). They are part of the somatic nervous system, which is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory processing12.
Somatic sensory neurons can detect different types of stimuli, such as touch, temperature, pain, and body position. They have specialized receptors on their endings that respond to these stimuli and generate electrical signals. These signals travel along the somatic sensory neurons to the spinal cord or the brainstem, where they synapse with other neurons. The signals are then relayed to various regions of the brain, such as the somatosensory cortex, where they are processed and perceived34.
Somatic sensory neurons play an important role in our ability to interact with the environment and perform various tasks. They help us recognize objects, discriminate textures, generate sensory-motor feedback, and exchange social cues3. They also help us avoid or cope with harmful stimuli by triggering reflexes or modulating pain
Knowing which spinal cord segments supply each ______ makes it possible to locate damaged regions of the spinal cord.
dermatome
What happens If the skin in a particular region is stimulated but the sensation is not perceived ?
the nerves supplying that dermatome are probably damaged. In regions where the overlap is considerable, little loss of sensation may result if only one of the nerves supplying the dermatome is damaged.

Lesser occipital
Skin anterior, inferior, and over ear, and over parotid glands of the cervical plexus
