Study Notes
Transmission of Impulses
- Impulses are sent to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord through transmission
- Transmission occurs in 3 stages
Stage 1: Signal Propagation
- Signals are transmitted from the site of transduction to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord
Stage 2: Signal Relaying
- Signals are transmitted from the spinal cord to the brain stem
Stage 3: Higher-Level Processing
- Signals are transmitted through connections between the thalamus, cortex, and higher levels of the brain
