  1. Spinal Nerves
    SA (exteroceptive)
    sensitive to discriminative (fine) touch, nondiscriminative (crude or poorly localized) touch, pain and temperature
  2. Spinal Nerves
    SA (proprioceptive)
    sensitive to stimuli from muscles, tendons, joints
  3. Spinal Nerves
    VA (interoceptive)
    sensitive to nociceptive stimuli from viscera
  4. Neurotransmitters for SA and VA spinal nerves?
    glutamate, substance P, CGRP
  5. Spinal Nerves
    SE
    motor neurons, innervate skeletal muscle and muscle spindles
  6. Spinal Nerves
    VE
    sympathetic (T1-L2) and parasympathetic (S2-S4) preganglionic nerve fibers, innervate smooth muscle and glands through a postganglionic nerve fiber
  7. Neurotransmitter for SE and VE spinal nerves?
    acetylcholine
  8. Ascending tracts of spinal cord?
    • gracile fasciculus
    • cuneate fasciculus
    • anterolateral system
