Summary Introduction
To review:
The nuclei through which nerve impulses pass to reach their destination in the brain. Also, give the name of destination of impulses in the brain, which arises from the proprioceptors.
Introduction:
The central nervous system (CNS) contains a cluster of neurons that are present deep in the cerebral hemisphere and the brainstem. These clusters of neurons are called nuclei. The cells of these nuclei are associated with each other by the bundles of axon extension. Proprioceptor is a sensory receptor present that provides information about position and movement.
