Which of the following correctly lists the structures through which kinesthetic stimuli travels after being converted into neural signals?

Question

A.
thalamus, spinal cord, cerebellum, somatosensory cortex
B.
somatosensory cortex, cerebellum, thalamus, spinal cord
C.
spinal cord, thalamus, cerebellum, somatosensory cortex
D.
cerebellum, spinal cord, somatosensory cortex, thalamus

Answer 1

The correct sequence for the pathways through which kinesthetic stimuli travel after being converted into neural signals is:

C. spinal cord, thalamus, cerebellum, somatosensory cortex

Kinesthetic stimuli are initially processed in the spinal cord, then relayed to the thalamus, and from there, the signals are sent to the cerebellum for coordination, before finally being processed in the somatosensory cortex for perception.
