Question
Chapter 15, Problem 17RQ
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The limbs whose coordinated movements are influenced by the damage to the posterior spinocerebellar tract on the left side of spinal cord at the L1 level.
Concept introduction:
The proprioceptor conveys proprioceptive information in the joints and skeletal muscles to the cerebellum. This is all included in the posterior spinocerebellar tract. It mainly carries information from lower extremities.

Name the major tracts of the spinal cord, and list the types ofimpulses each conducts.
An individual sustains injuries to only the ascending tract of the spinal cord.will this person experience deficits in movement,sensation,both or neither?explain.
Wallace is the victim of a hunting accident. A bullet grazed his vertebral column, and bone fragments severed the left half of his spinal cord at segments T8 through T10. Since the accident, Wallace has had a conditioncalled dissociated sensory loss, in which he feels no sensations of deep touch or limb position on the left side of his body below the injury, and no sensations of pain or heat from the right side. Explain what spinal tract(s) the injury has affected and why these sensory losses are on opposite sides of the body.
