Gray matter
- contains neuronal cell bodies and synapses
- Posterior horn
- Anterior horn
- Posterior columns
17
Gray matter
- Posterior horn
- sensory
18
Gray matter
- Anterior horn
- motor
19
Gray matter
- Posterior columns
- transmit proprioception, pressure, and vibration
20
White Matter
- contains ascending and descending pathways
21
DCML
- ORIGIN: Peripheral receptors; first-order neuron synapses in medulla
- FUNCTION: Discriminative touch and conscious proprioception
- TYPE: Conscious relay
22
Spinothalamic
- ORIGIN: Dorsal horn of spinal cord
- FUNCTION:
Discriminative information about
nociception and temperature - TYPE: Conscious relay
23
Spinolimbic,
spinomesencephalic,
spinoreticular
- ORIGIN: Dorsal horn of spinal cord
- FUNCTION:
Nonlocalized perception of pain;
arousal, reflexive, motivational, and analgesic responses to nociception (SLOW nociception) - TYPE:
24
Posterior spinocerebellar
& cuneocerebellar
(MVT)
- ORIGIN:
- High-accuracy paths: peripheral
receptors
First-order neurons synapse in nucleus dorsalis or medulla
- High-accuracy paths: peripheral
receptors
- FUNCTION: Unconscious proprioceptive information
- TYPE
25
Anterior spinocerebellar
& rostrospinocerebellar
(MVT)
- ORIGIN: Internal feedback tracts originate in dorsal horn of spinal cord
- FUNCTION: Unconscious information
about
activity in upper motor neuron
pathways and spinal interneurons - TYPE
26
DCML (compare)
- Three-neuron pathway
- Conscious relay
- Discriminative touch and conscious proprioceptive information
- Primary (first-order) neurons ascend ipsilaterally
- End in VPL nucleus of thalamus
27
spinothalamic (compare)
- Three-neuron pathway
- Conscious relay
-
Fast pain (localized), temperature,
and coarse touch information - Secondary (second-order) neurons ascend contralateral
- End in VPL nucleus of thalamus
28
Fast Pain
- Spinothalamic tract
- Conscious relay
- The individual is
consciously
aware of sharp pain in a specific location. - Quick signal on small, myelinated axons
29
Slow Pain
- Spinolimbic tract
- Divergent relay
- Follows fast pain
- Slow, aching non-localized pain
- Slower onset
- Smaller, unmyelinated axons
30
posterior white columns
- carry sensory information to the brain (ascending pathway)
- touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception
31
anterior white columns
- carrying motor commands from the brain to the muscles (descending pathway)
- some ascending sensory pathways for pain and temperature
