Human Anatomy: Sensory Pathways, Mediastinum, and More
Sensory Pathways
Sensory pathways are conduction channels that originate in the spinal cord and extend to the cerebral cortex, either at the cortical or subcortical level. These pathways transmit sensory information. There are two main types of sensitivity:
- Protopathic Sensitivity: Responsible for light or crude touch, temperature, and pain sensation.
- Epicritic Sensitivity: Mediates deep receptor discrimination between two points, location, and joint positions.
Neurons Involved in Sensory Pathways
- Protoneuron
