What carries impulses from the skin to the central nervous system?

A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.


What is the pathway called that signals travel along during a reflex?

Sensory neurons which trigger reflexes are called nociceptive neurons. After entering the dorsal root of the spinal cord, the nociceptive neuron branches into two terminals: one terminal synapses with an interneuron - a localised neuron which is located entirely within the grey matter of the spinal cord, and this in turn synapses with a motor neuron which then triggers the fast reflex action. The reflex is initiated solely within the spinal cord & doesn't involve the brain at all, but at the same time, the second branch of the nociceptive neuron synapses with a sensory neuron which goes to the brain; the brain then registers the sensation of pain, and can also initiate further motor action if necessary.
