Question

A student is feeling inside her backpack to find her mobile phone. There are a number of other items in the backpack. Which component of somatosensory conduction is most likely to provide the detailed sensory information that will help her distinguish her phone from other items?

Answer 1

The primary dorsal root ganglion neuron, dorsal column neuron, and the thalamic neuron.

Step-by-step explanation:

Also known as the Medial Lemniscal Pathway. It is responsible for body discriminative touch and proprioception which means it carries and processes that information through the body so it allows recognition of objects by touch, providing a sense of our body image.
