Question
Chapter 13.11, Problem 31CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The name of the ascending pathway that transports pain impulses and the region of the cortex that receives them. Also, the name of the descending pathway the patient might use to block the flexor reflex when giving blood for blood tests.
Introduction:
The spinal cord covered in the vertebral column runs from the foramen magnum of the skull of the first or the second lumbar vertebra that is situated inferior to the ribs. It supports two-way conduction passage, to and from the brain and hence it is the major reflex hub.

a. Special efferent
b. Special afferent
c. General visceral efferent
d. General somatic afferent
