45
Q

How big is the receptive field of the free nerve endings?

Various sizes.

46
Q

Describe the proprioceptive ascending pathway.

A

Proprioceptive fibres congregate in the dorsal root ganglion and then travel ipsilaterally up the Dorsospinocerebellar tract and contralaterally up the anterior spinocerebellar tract and finish in the cerebellum of the ipsilateral side.

47
Q

What are the two tracts that proprioceptive fibres can travel through?

A

The dorsospinocerebellar tract on the ipsilateral side and the anterior spinocerebellar tract on the contralateral side.

48
Q

Describe the ascending sensory pathway for pain/temperature.

A

Pain/temp fibres congregate in the dorsal root ganglion and then synapse first at the substantia gelatinosa. Then they travel on the contralateral side via the laterospinothalamic tract, then via the lateral lemniscus (from the pons) until they synapse in the thalamus on the contralateral side (from where they started). The final fibre travels from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex, again on the contralateral side.

49
Q

What are the two tracts that pain/temp fibres travel via?

A

First the laterospinothalamic tract, then the lateral lemniscus.

50
Q

Describe the ascending sensory pathway for fine touch.

A

Fibres for fine touch congregate in the dorsal root ganglion, then travel ipsilaterally up the dorsal column until they synapse in the nucleus gracilis. At which point, they cross and travel contralaterally via the medial lemniscus until they synapse in the thalamus. Lastly, the final fibre travels from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex (again on the contralateral side to which they began).

51
Q

What are the tracts that fine touch fibres travel via?

A

The dorsal column and the medial lemniscus.

52
Q

What type of fibre travels via the dorsospinocerebellar tract?

A

Proprioceptive fibres.

53
Q

What type of fibre travels via the dorsal column?

A

Fine touch fibres.

54
Q

What type of fibre travels via the lateral lemniscus?

A

Pain/temp fibres.

55
Q

What type of fibre travels via the anterior spinocerebellar tract?

A

Proprioceptive fibres.

56
Q

What type of fibre travels via the laterospinocerebellar tract?

A

Pain/temp fibres.

57
Q

What type of fibre travels via the medial lemniscus?

A

Fine touch fibres.

58
Q

What type of fibre synapse in the substantia gelatinosa?

A

Pain/temp fibres.

59
Q

What type of fibre synapse in the nucleus gracilis?

A

Fine touch fibres.

60
Q

Which types of fibre synapse in the thalamus?

A

Fine touch and pain/temp fibres.

61
Q

In what region(s) is the lateral horn present?

A

Lumbar and THORACIC regions.
