    This document discusses the three neuron pathways that make up the ascending tracts in the nervous system. The primary sensory neurons carry sensory information from receptors to the spinal cord through dorsal roots. Secondary sensory neurons form tracts in the spinal cord and brainstem. Tertiary sensory neurons then carry the sensory information from the thalamus to the primary sensory cortex through the internal capsule. The document also mentions the spino-olivary and spinotectal tracts.

    ASCENDING TRACTS

    By/Dr.Abdisamad omar ali


    Ascending Pathways

     Three neuron pathways


     Primary sensory neurons : From external

    receptors (travel through dorsal roots of


    spinal cord)
     Secondary sensory neurons : make up tracts

    in spinal cord and brainstem


     Tertiary sensory neurons : from thalamus to

    primary sensory cortex (travel through


    internal capsule)
    Spino olivary tract
    Spino olivary tract
    Spinotectal tract
    Spinotectal tract
