Describe the neural pathway beginning with the sensory receptors and ending with the cortex?

∙ 16y ago
There are multiple pathways by which information from sensory receptors reaches the cerebral cortex. These pathways vary based on the type of information carried. For example, information from the body about pain and temperature travels via a pathway called the anterolateral system; information from the body about conscious body position sense and fine touch travels through the dorsal column-medial lemniscus system. Unconscious sensation of body position has its own pathways. The face has a separate set of pathways that mirror those for the rest of the body.

What are the four Parts of the Sensory Pathway?
Sensory pathways function to provide us with information about our environment. The four parts of the sensory pathway are receptors, sensory neurons, sensory tracts, and sensory areas of the brain.

What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
What do sensory receptors enable you to do?
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.

Are the eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Which layer of the skin is compose of thousands of sensory receptors?
The layer of the skin that contains sensory receptors is the epidermis. There have been reports of the dermis also containing sensory receptors.
