Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2CR
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The sensory pathway involved in transferring sensory information from a handshake to the left primary somatosensory cortex of the brain.
Introduction:
The brain is an important part of the central nervous system and is called as the processing unit of the body. The information received by all the sensory receptors is transferred to the brain through the afferent neurons for processing and brain processes the information and sends a response signal through the efferent pathway to reply to any sensation.

- Identify, in correct order, of sensation to perception, the major connections of the pathway underlying fine touch, and pressure. afferent axons decussate at medulla primary somatosensory cortex activated somatosensory humunculus according to where on body touch was felt free nerve endings depolarize dendrites of peripheral afferents axons in the medial lemniscus terminate in the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus axons of afferents enter into dorsal horn of spinal cord and ascend ipsilaterallyarrow_forwardExplain the ascending pathway of how the information about touch sensation travels from the right arm up to the brain where he is aware that he has been touched. (Use complete sentences.) Use these key words in this order: sensory neuron, radial nerve in brachial plexus, spinal nerve, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, dorsal horn in cervical spinal cord, ascending tract, decussate, somatosensory cortex in postcentral gyrus, parietal lobe, Mr. Dexter thinks “Someone touched my arm.”)arrow_forwardUnilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forward
