A part of the spinal cord consisting of the gracile and cuneate fasciculi.

Part of the posterior column carrying impulses from lower body regions.

Part of the posterior column transmitting impulses from upper body regions.

A tract where second-order neuron axons cross and ascend to the thalamus.

Where second-order neurons synapse with third-order neurons before reaching the cortex.

Tactile receptors in dermal papillae for touch and low-frequency vibrations; rapid adaptation.

Free nerve endings around hair follicles that detect movements; rapid adaptation.

Tactile discs in epidermis for continuous touch and pressure; slow adaptation.

Ruffini corpuscles sensitive to skin stretching and pressure; slow adaptation.

Lamellated receptors for high-frequency vibrations; rapid adaptation.

Free nerve endings for pain sensation; adapts slowly, located in all tissues except brain.

Proprioceptors that measure muscle length; adapts slowly.

Proprioceptors that monitor muscle tension; adapts slowly, found at tendon junctions.

A neural pathway carrying sensory information from the face to the thalamus and cortex.

Neurons that carry sensory impulses from receptors to the spinal cord or brainstem.

Neurons that receive input from first order neurons and cross to the opposite side before ascending.

Thalamic nucleus where second order neurons synapse with third order neurons.

Region in the parietal lobes responsible for processing sensory input from the body.

A visual representation of how sensory receptors are distributed across the body.

Neural tracts transmitting proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum.

Neurological condition resulting from late-stage syphilis affecting the spinal cord.

The ability to sense the position and movement of one's body parts.

The perception of body movements and the ability to sense muscle contractions.

Sensory receptors that provide information about body position and movement.

Proprioceptors located in or around joint capsules, providing feedback on joint position.

The ability to assess the weight of an object and adjust muscular effort accordingly.

Cerebellum processes unconscious proprioceptive information; cerebral cortex processes conscious proprioceptive information.

A 3-neuron pathway that carries pain, temperature, tickle, and itch sensations.

Carries pain and temperature sensations to the brain.

Carries tickle, itch, crude touch, pressure, and vibrations.

Contains cell bodies of first-order neurons from the face.

Some axon terminals of first-order neurons synapse with second-order neurons in the pons.

Sustained sensation detected over a large area, involving Type I and II mechanoreceptors.

Result from rapidly repetitive sensory signals, primarily from Meissner and Pacinian corpuscles.

A sensation triggered by stimuli such as chemicals and temperature, involving bradykinin and histamine.

Chemicals that are known to stimulate itch sensations.
