Which of the following sensations are relayed via the dorsal column pathway? (Select all that apply)
a) Pain
b) Proprioception
c) Temperature
d) Touch
e) Vibration
Major somatosensory pathways of CNS include
a)dorsal column pathway
b)anterolateral pathway
These two pathways are sensory in function. Motor function is performed by lateral corticospinal tracts .
The dorsal column medial lemniscus pathway(DCML) is also known as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway (PCML).
This is a sensory pathway of CNS.
It relays sensations of fine touch , vibrations , proprioception (awareness of position).
Pain, temperature ,crude touch are relayed by antero lateral pathways.
So the answer includes proprioception , vibrations and fine touch.
(Crude touch by anterolateral pathway)
