Explanation / Answer

12.Are sensory neurons from general sensory receptors unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar neurons?

Answer- they are commonly unipolar.

13.Where are the cell bodies of the sensory neurons (first-order neurons) located?

Answer- they are located in the dorsal (posterior) root ganglion

14.Where are their axon terminals located?

Answer- axon terminals are located in the posterior horn of the spinal cord.

15.Where are the cell bodies of the second-order neurons located?

Answer- the cell bodies of the second-order neurons are located in the Posterior horn of spinal cord for the anterolateral pathway and the posterior column of the medulla oblongata for the medial lemniscus pathway.

16.Where are their axon terminals located?

Answer- Their axon terminals are located in the thalamus.

17.Where are the cell bodies of the third-order neurons located?

Answer- the cell bodies of the third-order neurons located in the thalamus.

18.Where are their axon terminals located?

Answer- their axon terminals located in the primary somatosensory cortex.

19.Where does the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway cross the opposite side of the CNS?

Answer- medulla oblongata

20.Where does the anterolateral (spinothalamic) pathway cross to the opposite side of the CNS?

Answer- spinal cord

21. Answer- the greater density of receptors are found in the hand(fingertips) followed by lips and the tongue.

3. Answer- the cerebellar hemispheres receive proprioceptive nerve impulses ipsilaterally.
