Description
Somatic sensation consists of the various sensory receptors that trigger the experiences labelled as touch or pressure, temperature (warm or cold), pain (including itch and tickle), and the sensations of muscle movement and joint position including posture, movement, and facial expression (collectively also called proprioception). The somatosensory system consists of ascending pathways from the body to the postcentral gyrus in the cerebral cortex, namely the Dorsal Column Medial Lemniscal pathway, the Ventral Spinothalamic pathway, ventral and dorsal spinocerebellar tracts. A somatosensory pathway typically has three long neurons:primary, secondary and tertiary (or first, second, and third). The first neuron always has its body in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal nerve (if sensation is in head or neck, it will be the trigeminal nerve ganglia or ganglia of other sensory nerves).
