Anterior horn
lower motor neurons
dorsal horns
sensory interneurons
lateral horn T1-L2
SNS GVE pre-gang
lateral horn S2-S4
PaNS GVE pre-gang
Brown-Sequard Syndrome and symptoms
hemisection of spinal cord
- loss of pain and temp on contralateral side of body
- loss of touch and proprio on ipsilateral side of body
- ipsilateral loss of motor function
protopathic
pain, temp, crude touch
spinothalamic tract/ anterolateral funiculi
epicritic
fine/discriminative touch, proprioception, vibration
-large, rapid fibers, myelinated
posterior/posterolateral columns –> medial lemniscus (brainstem)
Aa
motor to skeletal muscle (a-motor neuron)
Ad
sensory from free nerve endings for pain, temp
-slightly myelinated
C
free endings for pain, temp, smell
- unmyelinated
Pancinian corpuscle
rapidly adapting mechanoreceptor
- gross touch and vibratory
Missner’s corpuscle
rapidly adapting mechanoreceptor
Merkel’s disks
slowly adapting mechanoreceptor
Ruffini organs
slowly adapting mechanoreceptor
