Rexed lamina I
|
marginal zone
|
|
rexed lamina II
|
substantia gelatinosa
|
|
rexed laminae III and IV
|
most of the nucleus proprius
|
|
rexed laminae V and VI
|
-occupy the base of the posterior horn
-can be subdivided into medial and lateral compartments -important for integration of somatic information and as reflex centers |

|
The Posterior horn receives sensory information from?
|
-exteroceptors (GSA) I-V
-proprioceptors (GSA) V-VI -interoceptors (GVA) I, V-VI |
|
The posterior horn receives descending input from these supraspinal centers?
|
-cerebral cortex
-sucortical areas |
|
Dorsal (posterior) columns
|
-fasciculus gracilis
-fasciculus cuneatus -ipsilateral relay of primary sensory information of: 1. conscious proprioception 2. tactile position 3. vibratory sense 4. deep touch |
|
Anterolateral system is composed of?
|
1. spinothalamic
2. spinomesencephalic 3. spinoreticular 4. spinohypothalamic |
|
Anterolateral system (ALS)
relays and damage to causes? |
relays: pain, temperature, crude touch
loss of these sensations on the contralateral side of the body beginning 1-2 segments below the level of the lesion |
|
Dorsal (posterior) spinocerebellar tract
|
-fibers originating from Clark's nucleus (so found above levels L2, L3)
-ipsilateral pathway -unconscious proprioception from spinal cord to cerebellum |
|
Ventral (anterior) spinocerebellar tract
|
-arises from laminae V-VIII
-contralateral -unconscious proprioception |
|
Ascending Tracts
|
-gracile and cuneate fasciculi
-posterior (dorsal) spinocerebellar tract -anterior (ventral) spinocerebellar tract -anterolateral (ventrolateral) system ALS |
