| Describe the 3 important neurotracks for assessment |
|
Definition
| Explanation: All of the above are correct. 1. The corticospinal tract is in the posterior-lateral segment of the spinal cord and transmit motor impulses from the same side of the body. Corticospinal tract fibers cross to the contralateral side of the brain at the base of the skull. 2. The spinothalamic tract is in the anterior-lateral segment of the spinal cord and transmit pain (pinprick and light touch) and temperature impulses from the opposite side of the body. The spinothalamic tract fibers cross to the contralateral side of the spinal cord a few levels above where they enter. 3. The posterior column transmits position sense, vibration and light touch impulses from the same side of the body. |
